Infection Control

 

Infection Control

 

Infection controls and universal precautions protect clients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control – you,your dentist, and the dental team. The cornerstone in a good and safe dental practice is the element of trust.

Our entire team follows procedures recommended by international safety agencies: These measures include but are not limited to:

-Disinfectant hand soap                              

-Single use gloves and face masks

-Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces

-Sterilization of all equipment before every use

-Disposable materials

 

We sterilize all reusable equipment, including dental hand pieces. We use an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria and viruses by steam, heat and pressure.

The best defense against disease is information.  The more you know, the better equipped you are to make wise decisions about your health care. The more you are informed about our daily procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.
