Sterilization & Infection Control Procedures
We follow all sanitation and sterilization guidelines issued by the American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control to help prevent infection and maintain a safe clinical environment.
Our sterilization procedures include:
- Wearing surgical-grade masks, gloves, and protective equipment during all clinical procedures.
- Washing hands and changing gloves between every patient.
- Disinfecting dental chairs, treatment rooms, and all environmental surfaces between patients using EPA-approved disinfectants.
- Thoroughly cleaning and sterilizing all dental instruments after each use.
- Using an FDA-approved autoclave sterilizer that uses steam, heat, and pressure to eliminate bacteria and viruses.
- Properly disposing of all single-use items such as needles, syringes, cups, and other disposable materials according to medical waste regulations.
