Working in a health care setting such as a dental office means adhering to specific infection control protocols. Repeatedly washing hands is one of these protocols and a part of every clinician’s life. Keeping hands clean and antiseptic is paramount, but the repeated washing can mean dry and cracked skin. This is where dental skin care products can be a savior. These specially formulated skin creams, soaps and hand sanitizers are designed to keep skin moist, and equally as important, to not interact with latex or other materials used to fabricate dental gloves. When choosing a dental skin care product, be sure the scent is not too strong so it doesn’t bother any co-workers or patients.
