Drs. Warner and Scoglio, and our entire team follow procedures recommended by several federal agencies: the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). These measures include:
- Disinfectant hand soap
- Gloves and face masks
- Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces
- Sterilization of all equipment before every use
- Disposable materials
To ensure your safety, we strictly follow infection control protocols by sterilizing all reusable equipment, including dental hand pieces. We use an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria and viruses using steam, heat, and pressure.
The best defense against disease is information. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make wise decisions about your health care. The more you know about our daily infection control procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.
