The Blue Light Hazard in Dentistry: What You Need to Know

Today, we’re shedding light—quite literally—on a hidden hazard in the dental operatory: blue light exposure. Dental curing lights have increased in intensity over the past few decades, now delivering up to a staggering 6000 milliwatts per square centimeter. While this shortens curing times, it also means clinicians are exposed to higher doses of blue light in a much shorter period, making it especially dangerous. Even brief exposure can cause retinal damage. What can we do to protect ourselves? Our guest is Dr. Marie Fluent. Dr. Fluent’s dental career spans over 35 years and includes all roles within the dental practice. She is passionate and deeply committed to improving dental infection control and clinicians and patient safety. Through her writing, webinars, and invited lectures, she has educated thousands of dental professionals and students nationally and internationally.
