As dental hygienist it is important to follow through with universal precautions as we are exposed to varying diseases. Infection control would protect both the clinician and the client or community.  My community group and I incorporated proper infection control knowledge even in the community setting. In the community setting at Pioneer house, we set up our “clinic” in their arts, and tv room. Hence, we had to utilize radio, pool table,chair surfaces as areas to place our instruments. To prevent the spread of disease we used double layer of bibs,wiped down twice and barrierred door handle. We also set up and labelled an area for the used instruments.

Despite not being in our usual dental office clinic setting, we translated the knowledge of infection control. We prevented the spread and acquisition of oral disease.
