What specific steps are taken to control infection?
|
At Teeth & More we pay particular attention to general cleanliness, disinfection, sterilization, and the use of protective clothing when needed. We have a dedicated Central Sterilization Room. It is designed to ensure zoning and elimination of cross infection. All sterile instruments are covered and housed in sterile bays. Similar zones exist in each surgery. |

Use of Storage Pouches
|
These are used to store instruments after sterilization so that the instruments remain sterile for at least 30-45 days. This is done to protect any contamination to the patients or the dentist. |
 |
|
This is the highest degree of storage possible. |
| Selection of equipment that reduces the possibility of contamination |
| Modem equipment greatly reduces the possibility of contamination and infection.
Dental unit water systems are designed with special valves and certain disposable parts to ensure that the water supply for each patient is protected from disease-causing agents. Special coatings on dental units prevent bacterial colonies from forming. Automated internal disinfect ion systems are used daily to clean the systems. Parts are designed to be removable for disinfect ion. For instance, the use of suction devices to drain fluids from the mouth greatly reduces splatter that would result from spitting excess water from the mouth. Sterilised suction tips also contribute to infection control. |
