“This is dangerous, this is our standard of care, and this is what you’re not matching. How can we help you fix it?”

 

“The number one reason that dental professionals miss work is respiratory infections, respiratory diseases, respiratory viruses.”

 

“Really, what we do in school should be real life, because that’s the highest standard.”

 

“Don’t be touching the stuff at Target that I’m going to be touching, you are so contaminated right now…why do you have your gown on in my Target store?”
