To all our valued Patients, Family, Friends and fellow community members… Do your part. We got this. Shulman leave a comment What do Dentists and Dental Professionals think about mask-wearing? It is the policy at Innovation Drive Dental in Woodbridge and everywhere else!
Do your part, otherwise, stay home. Bolton Dentist. Additionally, all dental team members possess information on how important it is to clean their hands regularly.
Cleaning System. What to look out for cleanliness standards. Let us dive straight in: Tidiness: Does the dental office look cluttered and untidy?
As a patient, it is paramount to know that counters full of packages and leaflets are harder to clean, which means your choice of dental clinic might not be as clean as it should be. Additionally, if the staff members are not dressed appropriately and the toilet is not clean, you might be dealing with a not so prudent dentist. Waste management: You can easily know the level of cleanliness at a particular dental clinic by looking at how they discard their medical waste.
LEVEL 3 For surgical or other procedures or tasks where large amounts of fluid splashing are expected, level 3 splash resistance may be appropriate. Overuse: It is important that we all be prudent in our use of masks as a consumable item as overuse will contribute to a greater supply issue.
A practical example of overuse would be that it is NOT necessary for a dental assistant to change their mask at the end of a patient appointment just to undertake the normal change-over environmental cleaning stage. They would remove these masks prior seeing the next patient. Unacceptable practices: Using one mask for more than one patient.
Using one mask for more than 2 hours. Resterilising masks. Steam sterilising would alter the charge on the microfibers that are responsible for particle filtration, cause degradation of the mask straps, render the splash protection useless, and actually cause parts of the mask to disintegrate or melt, and release some toxic vapours. Using a cloth e. Your dentist and their colleagues are preventing themselves from many infections that can be transmitted, and they also cover themselves from transferring any type of particles from one patient to the next.
The dentist's mask protects you from any germs he or she may have picked up from other patients and limits the transmission of those germs. Dental work is often performed with the doctor and the patient within very close proximity of one another.
The mask allows, among other things, for the doctor to communicate freely with the patient without having to move away from their work area to do so. One of the first things you may see a dentist do is to wash their hands. They then apply sterile gloves, along with the mask. He or she will also have their instruments completely sterilized, and ready to provide a safe, sterile environment for your dental work.
