Infection Control

At Chamisa Hills Family Dental, your health and safety is our number one priority. To ensure that you receive the comfortable, relaxing dental experience you were promised in a safe, clean and caring environment, we not only follow the recommendations set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for dental offices, but we take extra precautions as well.

Our Promise to You:

Infection control in our office is very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Those standards of safety include:

• Ensuring all surfaces, such as the dental chair, dental light, drawer handles and countertops have been cleaned and contaminated before you step foot into our examination room.
• Ensuring all non-disposable items like dental tools are cleaned and sterilized between patients.
• Ensuring that disposable dental tools and needles are NEVER reused on another patient.
• Ensuring that each and every one of our staff members adhere to infection control precautions. This includes all dental staff using appropriate protective garb such as gloves, mask, gowns and eyewear. Furthermore, we ensure that all disposable wear such as gloves are thrown away after each patient.
• Ensuring that all team members wash their hands and put on a new pair of gloves before seeing a new patient.
