A New Philosophy – Total Health Protection

Protecting Your Total Health A great deal of time and effort has gone into providing you a safe, healthy, antiseptic environment in which you receive your dental care. Some of the techniques and materials we use daily are listed here. This is by no means a complete list. If you have any questions, do not hesitated to ask. Rest assured that your quality dentistry is carefully conducted with your well-being and safety in mind.

What is being done to ensure your safety and protection in our office? Each of us wear fresh gloves and a mask in the treatment rooms. This helps to eliminate cross-contamination. "Many items are used only once and then disposed of in strict compliance with OSHA guidelines. Examples include bibs, cotton, gauze, needles & scalpels. "Your treatment room is carefully cleaned with a surface disinfectant on all areas likely to come in contact with a patient. These areas include chair, counters, overhead lights, knobs, buttons and pens. All instruments are sterilized before being placed in your mouth. Most are sterilized with heat and some are sterilized with chemicals. Our heat sterilization equipment is checked weekly for effectiveness by an independent medical laboratory. Patient eye protection is available for your use when needed. Doctors and all staff members who treat or assist in the treatment of patients are immunized against Hepatitis B. We regularly update and modify our infection control systems to ensure the most comprehensive level of care available. We know you expect no less.
