Infection control, built on trust.

Infection controls and universal precautions protect patients and staff alike. Our entire team follows procedures recommended by several federal agencies: the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (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

We sterilize all reusable equipment, including dental handpieces, in an autoclave — a device that kills bacteria and viruses using steam, heat and pressure.

The best defense against disease is information. The more you know about our daily procedures and policies, the better equipped you are to make wise decisions about your health care — and the more comfortable you’ll feel in our chair.
