Dental procedures can cause a release of oral fluids such as blood and saliva. Keeping this in mind, it is essential to follow the standard protocol in infection control to prevent the risk of transferring diseases.

Why Infection Control is Important

Controls Spread of Disease – Dental practitioners should always use proper universal precautions like wearing gloves, gowns, masks, and goggles. The use of disinfectants and sterilizers is also recommended to prevent cross-contamination.

Stops Growth of Bacteria – Sterilization techniques should be prioritized in dental clinics to stop the growth of bacteria. The use of autoclaves is encouraged, and dental practitioners should disinfect all equipment to kill bacteria that might be adhering to these tools.

Improves Dental Reputation – When you follow standard protocol, your clients will feel safe and satisfied with your services and equipment. Word of mouth from your satisfied patients will boost your dental sales and productivity.

Protects Patient and Staff – Infection control prevents cross infection between patient-to-patient, patient-to-staff, as well as staff-to-staff. By adhering to the infection control policies, you can be sure that the entire team and your patients will be safe from diseases.
