At Diamond Dental, P.C., we take your health and safety seriously. Our office follows the rigorous infection control guidelines set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In fact, we go above and beyond these standards to ensure the well-being of both our patients and our team.
Our comprehensive infection control measures include:
- Eye protection for both patients and staff
- Use of disinfectant hand soap
- Gloves and face masks for every procedure
- Thorough chemical disinfection of all surfaces and countertops
- Complete sterilization of all dental instruments before each use
We also meticulously sterilize all reusable tools, including dental handpieces, using a hospital-grade autoclave. This advanced device uses high-pressure steam and heat to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Whenever possible, we opt for single-use, disposable materials to further reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Your safety, comfort, and peace of mind are our top priorities. If you have any questions about our infection control protocols or would like to schedule an appointment, we invite you to contact our office today. We look forward to providing you with safe, high-quality care in a clean and welcoming environment.
