Plano Smile Studio uses various methods to sterilize and disinfect in order to kill bacteria and viruses. Our staff is trained in these procedures and their appropriate use.
All dental instruments are cleaned and sterilized in-between patient visits by methods that kill the AIDS virus and other microscopic organisms capable of causing diseases. Common acceptable sterilization methods include an autoclave using steam under pressure, dry heat in an oven-like environment, and chemical vapor sterilization.
We use disinfection procedures on surfaces and equipment that cannot be removed for autoclave cleaning and sterilization, such as countertops, drawer handles, x-ray unit heads and light handles. Disinfection is done in the treatment room between patient visits to assure the utmost cleanliness for each patient.
The use of disposable items is another way we maintain a clean and safe office. Many dental materials such as gloves, masks, wipes, paper drapes, needles and scalpel blades are used only once and then disposed of properly.
We know how important it is to feel comfortable and safe. Our foremost concern is the health and safety of our patients. To assure you of this comfort and safety, Plano Smile Studio provides the most up to date infection control techniques. These infection control procedures include:
Some of these precautions are readily visible to you during your dental visit: the general exceptional cleanliness of the office, the use of masks and gloves, special waste containers, and our frequent hand washing. Other precautions, such as sterilization and disinfection are performed before your visit.
We hope this information has addressed some of the questions you may have. If you have other concerns, please feel free to bring them to our attention. We want you to be assured you are getting the very best and safest dental care at Plano Smile Studio. Please remember your health is our number one concern, and we strive to exceed every expectation you have regarding these important issues.
