Dental Hygiene
Your Teeth, Smile, Body
and Mind.
Dental
professionals are exposed to a wide variety of
microorganisms in the blood and saliva of patients. The
microorganisms may cause infectious diseases such as the
common cold, pneumonia, tuberculosis, herpes, hepatitis B,
and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The use of
effective infection control procedures and universal
precautions in the Dental Spa will prevent cross
contamination that could extend to patients, dentists,
dental office staff and dental technicians.
Dental instruments
and dental handpieces are sterilized for every patient. The
modern dental unit has an infection control system. The uses
of disposable dental material items prevent their reuse on
other patients. We also use protective equipment such as
latex gloves, masks, eyewear, and lab coats. All mentioned
are provided for the prevention of cross infection between
patients. |
