At our dental practice, infection control is of utmost importance in ensuring the safety and well-being of both our clients and staff. Universal precautions are implemented to protect everyone involved, including you, your dentist, and the entire dental team. Trust is essential in maintaining a good and safe environment for all patients, which is why we encourage open discussions about infection control with Dr. Riemer.
Our team strictly adheres to the guidelines set forth by federal agencies such as the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to ensure that proper procedures are followed at all times. Your health and safety are our top priorities, and we take every measure necessary to provide a clean and sterile environment for your dental care needs.
These measures include the following:
- Disinfectant hand soap
- Gloves and face masks
- Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces
- Sterilization of all equipment before every use
- Disposable materials
At our dental practice, infection control is a top priority. We go above and beyond to ensure the safety of our patients by sterilizing all reusable equipment, including dental handpieces, using an autoclave. This device effectively kills bacteria and viruses through steam, heat, and pressure, leaving no room for harmful pathogens to survive.
We believe that knowledge is power when it comes to protecting your health, which is why we strive to educate our patients on our daily procedures and policies. The more you know about the steps we take to maintain a clean and sterile environment, the more at ease you will feel during your visit with us. For more information on how we prioritize infection control at our practice, please don't hesitate to give us a call.
