Infection Control

PATIENT INFORMATION

Infection controls and universal precautions protect clients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control — you, your dentist, and the dental team. The cornerstone in a good and safe dental practice is the element of trust. You should feel free to discuss this topic with Dr. Mark Peddey or his team and receive a straightforward answer.

All staff at Dentistry in Elwood follow procedures recommended by agencies including The Dental Practice Board and the ADA. We sterilize all reusable equipments, including dental hand pieces. We use an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria and viruses by steam, heat and pressure. Our Autoclave is the most technologically advanced available. We use new barrier wrapping between patients.

Dentistry in Elwood has been comprehensively audited and approved by Independent Infection & Risk Management Consultant Dr. Vincent Amerena. Our practice is constantly evolving and developing improved infection control procedures.

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.
