Infection Control
Our Commitment to You
Protecting our patients is the top priority in our St. Louis dentist's office. We do everything possible to ensure a sterile and safe working environment. We follow the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control, the National Institute of Health, and the American Dental Association. We continually review updates of infection control materials and techniques so that we can achieve our goals by using the newest and best methods.
Sterilization Procedures
Our team members also work on our patient protection systems. Between each patient, treatment rooms are thoroughly cleaned and wiped down with surface disinfectants. Dental instruments are put through ultrasonic scrubbing and then wrapped and sterilized in a large, pressurized steam autoclave. Since we wrap our instruments, they remain untouched until set-up in a treatment room.
Disposable Products
We disposable products whenever possible to eliminate cross-contamination. Gloves and masks are always used. Handpieces (drills) are always sterilized. Prophy angles (the polishing cups we use during cleanings) are disposable, for single use only. We disinfect our waterlines and use distilled water while we work.

We hope that by increasing your awareness of what measures are being taken to insure your protection, that your trust and confidence in our team will make your visits more comfortable.
