September is Dental Infection Control Awareness Month (DICAM), and this week’s focus is on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)!⠀ ⠀ At Touro Dental Health (TDH), proper PPE usage has always been important to us. Masks, gowns, gloves and goggles have always been a requirement for our students, faculty, and clinical staff - all of whom are trained in proper donning and doffing.⠀ ⠀ With COVID-19, we increased our PPE standard to include face shields that are manufactured in our onsite lab as well as head and shoe coverings. Additionally, all of our TDH personnel are fit tested and receive custom fitted masks to ensure maximum protection and comfort⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #tourocollegeofdentalmedicine #dentalschool #dentists #dentistry #dentistsofinstagram #dentistsofinsta #smile #teethpeople #futuredds #futuredentists  #dentallife #dds #Westchester #westchesterliving #lohud #picoftheday #oralhealth #DICAM20

Meet D1 Daniel Brock! Coming to TCDM all the way from Henderson, Nevada, Daniel attended Brigham Young University in Utah, graduating with a B.S. in Exercise Science.⠀ ⠀ Daniel served on a two-year long mission to Uruguay with the LDS church, an experience, he shares, inspired him to peruse a career in dentistry⠀ ⠀ “I got to spend time with people in some very humble circumstances who unfortunately didn't have access to healthcare. Seeing how much oral health can impact a person's confidence made me realize that I wanted to help people feel confident in their smile,” says Daniel.⠀ ⠀ In regard to what dental field/specialty he may want to practice, Daniel shares that he is interested general dentistry but that he is also fascinated by Periodontics and Oral Surgery. ⠀ ⠀ In addition to knowing Spanish and Portuguese, another fun fact about this future D.D.S. is that he has yet to have a cavity!⠀ . ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #tourocollegeofdentalmedicine #dentalschool #dentists #dentistry #dentistsofinstagram #futuredentists ⠀ #smile #dentallife #teethpeople #dds #lohud #Westchester #westchesterliving #picoftheday #oralhealth #futuredds
