Since infection control and sterilization in the dental office is of great concern to all of us, we want to let you know how committed we are to your safety, health and protection in our practice. Our staff participates in continuing education for infection control on an on-going basis, and all personnel with any type of patient contact have been vaccinated against hepatitis.
In the treatment areas, we routinely wear gloves, masks and glasses. Gloves are changed not only when a different patient is contacted, but also frequently during a lengthy procedure on the same patient. The handpieces, drills and burs are steam sterilized after each procedure. Trash that is in any way considered contaminated is disposed of separately and picked up by specially licensed medical waste carriers. We will continue to be on the cutting edge of patient protection, as we provide oral health care in a safe environment.
During your new patient comprehensive examination, a detailed periodontal history and evaluation of the health and positioning of your gums are determined and recorded. This evaluation combined with necessary digital radiographs and any additional records provides us with the information necessary to make an accurate diagnosis. Your doctor and hygienist will discuss your diagnosis, prognosis and any needed periodontal treatment with you. Depending on the results of your periodontal evaluation and the amount of tartar and stain accumulated, only one cleaning appointment may be necessary for some patients.
Your doctor and hygienist will also make a recommendation for your next hygiene maintenance visit. This may range from a two-month interval to even one year. Again, this is tailored to your individual needs and may be altered at future visits depending on the condition of your gums and bone. It is important to make this next appointment before you leave in order to insure continuity of care and for your convenience. As you can probably tell, we place great emphasis on health and prevention. Our highly qualified team of doctors and hygienists take pride in providing excellent care. If you have any questions regarding your periodontal treatment, please ask.
