TB Screening Guide

Who this covers
dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, oral surgeons
Why this requirement exists
Aerosol-generating procedures make dental suites genuine respiratory-hazard zones. State dental boards rarely mandate TB testing directly; OSHA's bloodborne-pathogens framework and practice-level infection-control policy drive it instead.
Order the required tests
Direct-access laboratory testing — no doctor visit needed. Results arrive as forwardable PDFs that satisfy most compliance offices.
