Infection controls and universal precautions protect patients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control you, your dentist, and the dental team.
According to all leading authorities, the risk of contracting serious infectious diseases during a dental visit are extremely remote. However, it is right to be concerned.

- Change our gloves after each patient
- Sterilize all dental instruments and hand pieces after each use
- Regularly use bacteriological monitors to verify that our sterilizers are working
- Clean and disinfect all equipment and surfaces in the treatment room between patients
- Use disposable products to eliminate the possibility of cross infection
- Handle all disposable materials according to federal, state and local guidelines
