Safety
| FOR EVERYONE'S
PROTECTION: In recent years, control of the spread of infectious
diseases, from AIDS to hepatitis to the common cold, has become a
prominent issue. Our office policy on Infection Control goes beyond
the American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control
guidelines. We go the extra mile to assure our guests' total health.
|
|
| We use a state-of-the-art
autoclave to sterilize all dental hand pieces and instruments that can't
be thrown away between every patient. Autoclaving is the only way to
sterilize the internal and external surfaces of all instruments. |
|
| During patient treatment,
we use all of the latest techniques in Infection Control. This includes
the use of PPE's, personal/patient protective equipment, such as sterile
disposable masks and gloves. |
|
| After treatment, all
operatory surfaces are wiped down with a disinfectant. Instruments are
scrubbed clean and placed back in the tray to go through the Ultrasonic
cleaner. The trays are then wrapped and prepared for the autoclave. A
special "color strip" is then placed in the sterilization bag along with
the tray of instruments. This color strip will change colors after
sterilization has taken place. This ensures all instruments are
properly sterilized. |
|
| Infection Control is a team
effort. From the sterilization technique to the vacuuming technique, our
team takes this task very seriously. |
TECHNOLOGY: In order to provide the highest quality dentistry, we have
implemented dentistry's best technology into our practice. Digital
radiography allows our guest to have peace-of-mind when getting an x-ray,
knowing that the radiation level is a bare minimum and that dangerous
chemicals, that pollute our environment, aren't being used to develop the
film. Intraoral
cameras allow our guest to see exactly what the doctor sees.
The Pro Max
(best panoramic machine in dentistry) allows the doctors to see images of
a guest's TMJ, sinus images, and the usual panograph showing all facial
bones. This is a necessary radiograph for full head and neck cancer
screenings.
The Caesy Education system explains dental conditions and
procedures in concise and easy to understand terminology. These and other
systems are implemented into our office to help establish a guest friendly
environment in which we can provide high quality dentistry at an
affordable price.
