Before you enter into the exam room, all of the surfaces are decontaminated and cleaned. The drawer handles, dental chair, dental light and countertops are all taken care of after every patient to ensure your safety. In the event protective covers are used, those items will be replaced upon a new patient entering into the room.

Any items that cannot be disposed of will be sterilized and cleaned between patients. Needles and gauze are placed in a specialized container or bag for proper disposal. Infection control procedures also mandate that all of the staff members take the appropriate precautions by using masks, eyewear, gloves and gowns. After any patient leaves, the disposable items will be discarded properly. Before the new patient enters into the room, treatment personnel will need to wash their hands and get a new pair of protective gloves.
