Oral Infection Control

Infection controls and universal precautions protect our patients and staff alike. At Dentistry in Oak Ridges, we pride ourselves on staying up to date with the most recent infection control guidelines set out by the RCDSO and implementing any changes as soon as they are released. Your health and safety is our priority so we're always enrolled in classes and courses to keep up to date with best practices.

We follow procedures recommended by several federal agencies: the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). These measures include:

• Disinfectant hand soap
• Gloves and face masks
• Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces
• Sterilization of all equipment before every use
• Disposable materials

We sterilize all reusable equipment using an autoclave - a device that kills bacteria and viruses by steam, heat and pressure.

We want you to be comfortable during your visit to our Richmond Hill dental office and the best defense against infection is information. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make the right decisions about your health.
