Frequently Asked Questions
What is cross-infection in dental care?
Cross-infection in dental care refers to the transmission of infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, etc.) between patients, staff, or surfaces within a dental setting.
Why is cross infection control important in dentistry?
In the course of dental procedures, cross-infection control ensures the consistent maintenance of high hygiene standards. We prioritize the utilization of disposable materials, including masks, whenever feasible. In instances where disposables are not practical, we rely on state-of-the-art technology to thoroughly sterilize equipment before it is reused.
