STERILIZATION AND INFECTION CONTROL

Our strict protective guidelines are based on WHO recommendations for preventing disease transfer and exposure. Some examples include:

  • Utilizing barrier techniques and personal protective equipment (including gloves, masks, lab coats and face shields) to prevent the transfer of biomaterials.
  • Providing patients with protective eyewear during their procedure.
  • Surgical and clinical hand washing protocols with antimicrobial wash and alcohol based rubs.
  • Thorough surface disinfection of all clinical setting surfaces, including handles, switches and chairs between patients.
  • Pouched autoclave steam sterilization of all instruments.
  • The use of disposable supplies, such as suction tips, anesthesia materials and barriers.
  • Filtered, disinfected water lines.
  • Secure sharps disposal, collected by a clinical waste company.

BIOHAZARDS

All hazardous waste including biological waste is separately disposed of in appropriate containers. Livingwell Dentistry is a mercury-free dental office, but we are able to safely remove mercury-containing fillings for our patients and dispose of them in a way that prevents environmental exposure.
