We follow all the disinfection and sterilization procedures needed for infection control in India. These are used for each and every patient to prevent the transmission of the AIDS virus and other infectious diseases. All our staff involved in patient care use appropriate protective garb such as gloves, and masks. After each patient visit, the gloves are discarded, hands are washed and a new pair of gloves is used for the next patient.
Preventing the spread of disease is of the utmost concern for both the dental staff and the patient. You can be assured that at Advanced Dental Care Centre, 32 Intact, we meet or exceed all standards for infection control as set forth by ADA and IDA ( Indian Dental Association). We regularly undergo training to insure that our infection control skills and knowledge is fresh and up to date in India and world.
Some (but not all) of the infection control methods we utilize are:
- New disposable gloves are used whenever we enter the operatory
- Masks and protective eyewear are worn during dental procedures
- Disposable supplies are used whenever possible
- All surfaces are either covered with disposable plastic or disinfected prior to each patient's use
- All instruments, including handpieces, are sterilized after each use and sealed
- Our sterilization equipment is regularly checked to insure its effectiveness in killing all pathogenic organisms
- Surgical scrubs or over-garments are worn (we do not wear scrubs out of the office)
- All hazardous material is clearly labeled
- Bio-hazardous waste material is separately stored and removed from the facility
The sterilization methods used in our centre are: autoclaving (steam under pressure), dry heat oven, chemical vapors (commonly called a chemiclave). These measures are carried out rigorously and consistently and demonstrate our commitment to your safety.
Never let uncertainty about safety keep you away from getting dental treatment done in India, or cause anxiety while you're here, because your and our health is too important. We as health professionals are more susceptible to contact infectious diseases while working on our patients. And therefore we follow stringent measures of sterilization and disinfection for everyone’s safety.
If you have any questions about our infection control methods, please do not hesitate to ask.
Contact us for an appointment and rest assured that every available means to protect you is being utilized.
