Does the dental office take a comprehensive approach to infection control?
Our dental staff understands the importance of taking a comprehensive professional approach to infection control. That is why we use a state-of-the-art infection control system. When your appointment with the dentist or hygienist begins you may notice a package wrapped in blue paper near the dental chair. It contains a unique cassette of dental instruments that is part of the special infection control system that our office uses. With the infection control system you know that the instruments used by your dental professional have been properly cleaned, sterilized, and stored. It is one of the many precautions that this office takes to safeguard your health. We also have custom distilled water reservoirs built into each dental chair–you get the best water there is, free of contaminants. We use physical barriers over every possible surface. We meet-and-exceed-the sterilization and infection control standards of the American Dental Association and Centers for Disease Control.
