How We Sterilize
Instruments always go through a disinfecting ultrasonic bath. After which, they are rinsed, dried, then sterilized in a STATIM steam autoclave. Spore tests are done on the autoclave monthly to ensure 100% sterilization.
Handpieces that can't be soaked or washed are wiped with a surface disinfectant and are also placed in the STATIM steam autoclave.
Hard surfaces like countertops and hoses are wiped with a surface disinfectant twice so that the debris is removed first, guaranteeing total disinfection.
If you feel the need to brush or floss before being examined by the dentist, no need to feel embarrassed, that's perfectly normal and we are here to help.
