Sterilization

Sterlization at our clinics
 Our
practice takes stringent measures to minimize the risk of infection. There is no
carpeting on the floor to trap bacteria and rooms are sterilized regularly. Any
instrument used in a patient's mouth is either disposable or designed to
withstand heat sterilization after use. Even the switches, buttons and levers of
our lights and equipment are covered with sterile plastic barriers Instruments
to be sterilized are first placed in a cassette, covered with wrapping and
transferred to an autoclave for heat sterilization. The cassette remains sealed
until immediately before instruments are used. The wrapping serves as a sterile
field on which to place instruments during procedures.
These measures are carried out rigorously and consistently and demonstrate our
commitment to your safety.
