Infection Control
Infection Control
Universal measures and infection controls protect all staff and clients. Comprehensive infection control is beneficial to you, your dentist, and the dental team. The factor of trust is the foundation of a safe and effective dental practice. Feel free to talk to Dr. Patel about this subject, and you will get a direct response.
Dr. Patel and our entire team follow procedures recommended by several federal agencies: the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). These measures include:
- Disinfectant hand soap
- Gloves and face masks
- Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces
- Sterilization of all equipment before every use
- Disposable materials
All usable dental instruments, including handpieces, are sterilized by us. We used an autoclave, a machine that uses pressure, heat, and steam to destroy germs and viruses.
Knowledge is your best source of defense against illness. The capacity to make informed decisions regarding your medical treatment will increase with your level of knowledge. You’ll feel more relaxed and knowledgeable about our everyday business and policies the more you know.
