Infection Control

Our procedures focus on maintaining the highest level of cleanliness and safety for both patients and staff, aligned with OSHA requirements. Dr. Petrillo and his team implement meticulous infection prevention protocols, which include the thorough cleansing and disinfection of all surfaces and equipment with antibacterial solutions prior to each patient encounter. The use of disposable barriers on handles and high-contact areas, frequent hand sanitation practices, and personal protective equipment ensure an uncompromised standard of care.

The Dental Infection Control service works through a comprehensive approach that begins with a rigorous cleaning routine for all surfaces and instruments, using antibacterial solutions and disposable barriers to prevent cross-contamination. Hand sanitizers and hand-washing stations are strategically placed for frequent use by staff to further enhance hygiene. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is either disposable or regularly updated to safeguard against infections. This structured protocol ensures an environment where dental procedures are conducted safely and efficiently, minimizing any risk of infection.
