At Marion DDS, we prioritize your health and safety above all else. Our office is meticulously cleaned and sterilized to ensure a worry-free experience during your appointment. Even during times of heightened health concerns, you can trust us to provide exceptional dental care without any distractions. Your well-being is our utmost priority, and we are committed to delivering personalized and top-quality care to each of our patients.
Further Heightened Sterilization Standards
At our dental office, we prioritize patient safety and office sterilization by exceeding the standards set by the Centers for Disease Control. We ensure that our dental implements are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized before each use, leaving no room for contamination. Our sterilization process goes beyond using soap and water - we utilize an autoclave machine that employs steam and high heat to eliminate any bacteria or viruses that may have been transferred to the tools during use. Additionally, we minimize the need for sterilization by using disposable materials and barriers that are discarded after each use.
Personal Protective Measures
To ensure the safety of our patients, our dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants maintain cleanliness and wear standard personal protective equipment. This includes gloves, eyewear, and masks, all of which are disposed of after each patient to prevent any contamination. Additionally, our team members have the privilege of wearing fresh outfits every day as their clothing is professionally cleaned. In the event that their clothing becomes soiled during their shift, we have extra clean clothing available for them to change into as necessary.
Disinfection Procedures
At our dental office, numerous rooms are utilized by both patients and staff. Apart from the routine cleaning conducted after office hours, we prioritize the disinfection of surfaces that are frequently touched by patients and staff in the heavily trafficked rooms. Throughout the day, we meticulously go through each room and sanitize commonly touched surfaces such as countertops, tables, doorknobs, cabinets, sinks, and restrooms using medical-grade disinfectants.
Filtered Water Lines
Ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the water used to rinse our patients' mouths is a top priority in our dental office. To eliminate any potential risks, we have implemented a filtration system in our water lines that effectively removes bacteria and microorganisms. While these contaminants may not pose a threat to healthy individuals, they could be more hazardous to older patients or those with weakened immune systems.
To maintain the highest standards of hygiene, we consistently monitor the bacteria levels in our water lines and strictly adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines for system cleaning. This proactive approach guarantees that our system operates at its optimal level, providing our patients with water that is as clean and safe as when it was first installed.
A Team Effort
Ensuring the safety and well-being of our patients is a collective effort, and each team member plays a crucial role in maintaining high standards. Apart from the mentioned precautions, our team members refrain from coming to the office when they are unwell, and we kindly request our patients to do the same. This is essential for the health and well-being of our community.
