Patients quite naturally are concerned and raise questions about dental office cleanliness and sterilization policies. Our staff uses state-of-the-art sterilization methods, following guidelines established by the American Dental Association, the Center for Disease Control and the State Dental Board of California. Our sterilization systems are tested weekly by an independent outside laboratory.
Whenever possible, disposable one-time use materials are utilized. Every dental instrument which comes in contact with patients is heat sterilized. All dental chairs, sinks and counter surfaces are disinfected before each dental visit.
Should you have specific questions or concerns about cleanliness or sterilization issues, please don’t hesitate to inquire of the doctor or assisting staff.
