A member asked:

Preqautions in dental work for hepititis b carrier patient?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Same procedures: Performing dental care on a hepatitis b carrier is no different than doing modern dental procedures on a regular, non-infected person. The standard blood and bodily fluid precautions are adequate. Dental care workers should be sure their hepatitis b immunity is good, from the vaccine or from a past, resolved infection.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
