A member asked:
Which of the hepatitis viruses is of greatest concern to people working in the dental field?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hepatitis B: I would say hepatitis b as it is the most highly contagous by a needle stick. Hepatitis c would be next. Hepatitis a is spread by the fecal oral route and would not be a concern in dental practice.
