Infection Control

At Art of Modern Dentistry, infection controls and universal precautions protect clients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control. The cornerstone in a good and safe dental practice is the element of trust. You should feel free to discuss this topic with our team and receive a straightforward answer.

Everyone on the Art of Modern Dentistry Team follows 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 but are not limited to:

Disinfectant hand soap
Gloves and face-masks
Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces
Sterilization of all equipment before every use
Disposable materials whenever possible

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.
