| STERILIZATION PROCEDURES | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In Keeping with our commitment to provide our patients with the very best orthodontic treatment available, we have taken great care to ensure that our sterilization program meets or exceeds the most stringent standard of care. You will notice that protective gloves are always worn while working inside patient’s mouths. Protective eyewear and masks are also worn for those procedures that warrant their use. Whenever possible, disposable items are used, and when this is not feasible the latest sterilization techniques are utilized. All instruments are mechanically cleaned, and then placed in a state-of-the-art heat sterilization unit. All dental hand pieces utilize disposable attachments when possible and are cleaned and sterilized after each use. You will notice that exposed surfaces in the treatment area are constantly cleaned and treated with the very best surface disinfectants. Disposable plastic covers are used whenever possible. All employees have received extensive training with regards to sterilization procedures and attend review courses as needed to keep current. In addition, each of our office staff is CPR certified. For the protection of our patients and our employees, all employees with direct patient care responsibilities have been vaccinated against hepatitis B virus. We are proud of our sterilization program and welcome any questions that you may have. When it comes to taking care of our patients, we feel that they deserve the very best. |
