Maintaining a Healthy Office

Infection control in dental practices is a subject that's on everyone's mind these days. You're concerned about it because you've probably seen coverage of it on television or read articles in newspapers or magazines. Much of the news may cause you to ask yourself serious questions about the safety of coming to the dentist.

We want to take this opportunity to reassure you that in this practice, nothing is more important than the health and safety of our patients and employees.

We use stringent infection control protocols, products, and procedures in our practice. They are the foundation of making our practice as infection-free as it can be. We observe Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), American Dental Association and Centers for Disease Control infection guidelines.

Our practice employs the following rigorous quality controls:

• We completely sterilize and disinfect all dental instruments before each use.
• We routinely wear disposable surgical gloves.
• We disinfect all treatment room surfaces, such as chairs, headrests, light handles, and counters, prior to each patient treatment.

We welcome your questions, and want you to feel comfortable about coming to us for treatment.
