Infection Control
Dr. Morris and his team pay very strict attention to infection control in
their facility and follow OSHA guidelines.
In the last few years, patient
protection and asepsis have become an issue of public concern. With the
discovery of the HIV virus and the continuing problem with HIV, Hepatitis-B and
C virus, it has become necessary for health care facilities to constantly
upgrade their techniques of sterilization and disinfect products to provide you
with maximum protection.
In our office, your safety is our highest priority. All staff members are trained in proper infection control and asepsis,
and have been vaccinated against the Hepatitis-B virus. We will be happy
to answer any questions you may have regarding infection control.
Throughout the day, we
perform a number of sterilization procedures for your protection. Examples of
these procedures include:
- All treatment surfaces
(i.e. countertops, chair surfaces,
lights, X-ray machines and trays) are disinfected with the most
effective and safest products available before and after each patient
appointment.
- To ensure your safety, we follow a number of standard sterilization
procedures with all instruments. First, all instruments are brought back
to our lab and placed in an ultrasonic cleaner. The instruments are then
rinsed thoroughly before being sterilized in an autoclave, which runs
for 40 minutes and reaches a temperature of 425 degrees, thereby
destroying any bacteria or viruses. All hand pieces are sterilized in a
state-of-the-art autoclave.
- Our autoclave is monitored regularly to ensure its effectiveness and
safety.
-
Staff members use masks, safety glasses and new gloves for each patient.
-
We have a 0.2 micron Water Filtration
System on all water lines to protect patients from dental water
line bacterial contamination.
