The Very Dental Podcast Network

Remember a couple years ago when EVERYONE needed high quality masks and none were to be found? This throwback episode of the Shorts podcast features Dr. Craig Harder and the masks he made for health care providers back in the beginning of the pandemic! 

Original show notes:

Alan talks with Dr. Craig Harder about his recent news exposure! Craig has been printing reusable masks for health care professionals in his town in Washington and has had several great news stories written about his efforts! Craig tells us how he’s printing them and how he’s customizing them for nurses and doctors in his area! We talk about how to print a 3D mask as well as whether our existing universal precautions were enough. Infection control in dentistry has always been a huge deal and we wonder if people are going to criticize what we’ve been doing!
