Infection control procedures form a crucial part of health care practices, aimed at curbing the transmission of diseases within medical settings. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers comprehensive recommendations for maintaining infection control protocols in dental offices. Your well-being is of paramount importance to us and we take diligent measures to prevent the spread of infections.
Prior to your entrance into the examining room, meticulous steps are taken to ensure a sanitized environment. Every surface, from the dental chair to the dental light, drawer handles, and countertops, undergoes rigorous cleaning and disinfection. Protective covers might be used to shield certain equipment, and these are replaced meticulously after each patient.
Instruments that are not disposable, like dental tools, are subjected to thorough cleaning and sterilization between patients. On the other hand, disposable dental tools and needles are strictly never reused, further reinforcing the commitment to infection prevention.
Equally essential are the precautions surrounding personal protective equipment (PPE). Dental staff engaged in patient care adhere to a strict regimen of PPE usage, which encompasses gloves, masks, gowns, and eyewear whenever necessary. Disposable gloves and masks are promptly discarded after each patient interaction. Ensuring a fresh pair of gloves, the treatment team follows a consistent routine of handwashing before tending to the next patient.
We prioritize your well-being. The establishment of infection control procedures within our dental office underscores this commitment. It’s a comprehensive approach, designed not only to ensure your oral health but also your overall safety.
