 Sterilization Techniques & Protocols
If you are concerned about attending a clean and healthy dental office, then rest assured that you have chosen a dental office with the highest quality of infection control protocols. We take great pride in protecting your family from many diseases that may be transmitted from one patient to the next by STERILIZING each and every instrument used between patients. Sterility is accomplished by placing all instruments within an "autoclave" which sterilizes the instruments under exteme heat and pressure. To acheive sterility with items that may not tolerate extreme heat and pressure, we place those items in a chemical solution known as "cold sterile" that will acheive the same level of protection as the autoclave. On a regular basis both the autoclave and cold sterile solution are monitored, checked, and verified by a health protection agency. All dental chairs, lights, countertops, computers, and other items found in and around the dental operatory are sprayed (CaviSpray) and wiped (CaviWipe) with the strongest disinfectant. This disinfectant kills strong virus' like TB, HIV, Herpes, among numerous other diseases causing organisms. Please feel free to research these products. The moment you walk into our relaxing dental office, feel confident that our office is clean, sterile, disinfected, and surpaces all OSHA guidelines.
We Welcome You to Our Practice!
