PATIENT INFORMATION

Infection Control

You will notice our focus on infection control the moment you sit in one of our dental chairs.  The doctors and staff of MINT follow  the exacting procedures recommended by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). These measures include:

  • Disinfectant hand soap
  • Gloves and face masks
  • Chemical disinfection of counter-tops and surfaces
  • Highly sophisticated sterilization of all equipment before every use
  • Disposable materials

We sterilize all reusable equipment, including dental hand pieces. We use an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria and viruses by steam, heat and pressure.

If you have any worries or concerns, please ask our staff. The more you know about our daily procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.
