Infection Control

Infection control in the dental office is very important to all of us. Our practice has always adhered to the highest professional standards in creating a setting which is comfortable and safe. We are in full compliance with all infection control guidelines:

• The water supply to our equipment is from a bottled source and independent of the town supply. All lines are flushed daily and between each patient visit.

• ALL of our instruments and supplies, including handpieces, are either heat sterilized after each use or are disposable.

• Proper barriers (gloves, masks, eye shields, surface coverings) are routinely used to prevent cross contamination and/or injury.

• Uniforms are laundered according to standard and fresh ones are provided daily.

• The x-ray room is completely lead lined to prevent scatter radiation and protective drapes are always used during examinations.

• All medical waste is removed from the office and disposed of according to EPA standards.

• The staff has attended seminars and is knowledgeable on the latest techniques of infection control. Education is updated continually.
