Palumbo Family Dentistry got a late Christmas present, and Tyler LOVES new presents! A new sterilizer for our dental instruments. Our entire team takes infection control very seriously. The dental field has had some unfortunate infection control breaches over the last couple of years. We want to assure our patient family and educate all of you on some of the procedures we go through to provide the safest environment for you.
First off all our sterilizers are serviced and replaced on a routine basis, to ensure peak effectiveness. To make sure that the units are working at peak effectiveness we have indicators in every packet of instruments that is run. Furthermore, we Spore Check the loads as a whole. These tests are logged into a record and must be verified by multiple employees to ensure that loads have passed their required protocols. The entire staff, clinical and administrative, receive annual on site infection control training by Mary Govoni & Associates. Mary Govoni is a internationally acclaimed infection control expert, with decades of experience and knowledge.
We pride ourselves on creating a safe and sterile environment for our patient family and staff. If you ever have any questions or concerns regarding our protocols or procedures please do not hesitate to ask. We are transparent to all patients regarding infection control procedures. - Dr P
