Are dental instruments sterilised after each use?
We are committed to maintaining the highest standards in sterilisation and infection control procedures at Kedron Dental Centre. All dental handpieces and instruments are autoclaved following each patient’s treatment. Autoclaving uses steam under very high pressure to achieve rapid high heat sterilisation of instruments. A state of the art infection control protocol is in place at Kedron Dental Centre. Staff wear personal protective clothing and disposable items are used, whenever possible.
