At Brookview Dental Clinic, we make sure our dental practice is safe and clean using infection control protocols and universal precautions. These rigorous infection control protocols protect both patients and staff. If you have any questions about this topic, please feel free to discuss it with any one of our dentists or hygienists.
Our entire team follow procedures mandated by the Alberta Dental Association & College (ADA&C). These measures include:
- Disinfectant hand soap and hand sanitizer
- Gloves and face masks
- Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces
- Sterilization of all equipment before every use
- Disposable, single use materials of items that cannot be sterilized
All reusable equipment is sterilized, including any dental hand pieces. An autoclave is used to kill any bacteria and viruses by steam, heat, and pressure.
We keep you informed so that you are better equipped to make wise decisions about your health care. The more you are aware about our daily procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.
