Our commitment to infection control goes beyond the federal and provincial requirements. We employ state-of-the-art technology, such as Hydrium instrument washers, which have been proven by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) to be highly effective at removing pathogenic organic debris compared to traditional ultrasonic cleaners used in most dental offices.
Furthermore, we utilize autoclaves, devices that use steam, heat, and pressure to kill bacteria and viruses, ensuring the complete sterilization of instruments and equipment.
Knowledge is your best defense against disease, and we encourage you to ask questions and seek information about our infection control policies. The more informed you are, the more comfortable and confident you will feel about the care you receive at Dentistry in the Valley.
