Infection Control
Infection controls and universal precautions protect clients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control you, your dentist, and the dental team. The cornerstone in a good and safe dental practice is the element of trust. You should feel comfortable to discuss this topic with Dr. Laska and receive a straightforward answer.
Dr. Laska 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:
- Adhering to Covid-19 Protocols
- Disinfectant hand soap
- Face Masks and Gloves
- Chemical disinfection on all surfaces
- Sterilization of all equipment before and after every use
- Medical Grade Air Purifiers
We sterilize all reusable equipment, including dental hand pieces. We use an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria and viruses by 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 procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.
