Sterilization
In keeping with our commitment to provide our patients with the very best orthodontic treatment available, we have taken great measures to ensure that our sterilization program meets or exceeds the most stringent standard of care. You will notice that protective gloves are always worn while working on patients and that a new pair is used for each and every patient. Protective eyewear and masks are also worn for those procedures that warrant their use. Whenever possible, disposable items are used and when this is not feasible, the latest sterilization techniques are utilized.
All instruments are cleaned and then placed in state-of-the-art heat sterilization units. You will also notice that all exposed surfaces in the treatment area are cleaned and treated with surface disinfectants. Disposable plastic covers are used wherever possible.
All employees have received training concerning sterilization procedures. We are justifiably proud of our sterilization program and welcome any questions you might have about it. Once again, we are totally committed to providing our patients with a safe environment for orthodontic treatment. When it comes to taking care of you and your children, we feel that you deserve the very best!
