Sterilization procedures are very important to any good dental
practice. These are a part of basic care and handling of patients that
your dentist must incorporate to be able to give you quality oral health
care.
The Centers for Disease Control has laid down infection control guidelines that a dental clinic should adhere to: A
well-ventilated room with air-circulating devices prevents building up
of aerosols produced from the dental drills. Use scrub apron, eyewear, disposable gloves and
facemasks. The patient is draped, and may be given a protective “face
shield” to prevent skin contamination from the dental drill’s water
spray. An anti-microbial mouth rinse just before a dental procedure is
important to reduce contamination. The dental chair’s knobs and handles need to be chemically
disinfected between patients. All the dental instruments that go into
patient’s mouth need to be subjected a high-degree sterilization
procedure, such as “autoclaving,” which destroys all microbial
contamination. These instruments are then stored in a dry, sterile,
contained area such as disposable pouches or cassettes, and removed just
before using for the patient. Local injections require disposable
needles with single-use syringes or sterile cartridges for each patient.
Infection control measures not only reduce the chances of getting a
dental infection, they also reduce the risk of catching serious diseases
like HIV and hepatitis, so choosing a sterile dentist is important to
stay healthy!
