Infection Control & Patient Safety
At Hadar Dental, the health and safety of our patients and team is one of our highest priorities. We follow strict infection-control and sterilization procedures designed to create a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every patient.
We understand that patients may have questions about how dental offices prevent the spread of infection. We believe in being transparent about our procedures and are always happy to answer your questions or address any concerns.
Our team follows current infection-control recommendations and applicable standards established by organizations including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Our Infection-Control Practices Include:
- 🧼 Thorough hand hygiene before and after patient care
- 😷 Appropriate use of gloves, masks, and other personal protective equipment
- 🧴 Cleaning and disinfection of dental treatment rooms and frequently touched surfaces
- ♨️ Sterilization of reusable dental instruments and equipment before each use
- 🦷 Sterilization of reusable dental handpieces
- 🧤 Use of single-use and disposable materials whenever appropriate
- Proper handling, cleaning, packaging, and storage of sterilized instruments
- Following established infection-control protocols throughout every patient visit
Instrument Sterilization
Reusable dental instruments are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized before they are used on another patient. We use an autoclave sterilizer, which uses a combination of steam, heat, and pressure to effectively eliminate microorganisms from dental instruments.
We take these precautions seriously because you deserve to feel confident in the safety and cleanliness of your dental care.
Your Safety Is Our Priority
We believe that trust begins with transparency. If you have questions about our sterilization procedures, infection-control practices, or the steps we take to protect our patients, please feel free to ask our team at any time.
At Hadar Dental, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness, safety, and patient care—so you can focus on what matters most: your health and your smile.
