Infection Control

Patient Information

Infection controls and universal precautions protect clients and staff alike. Rigid infection control benefits everyone—you, your dentist, and the dental team. Trust is the cornerstone of a good and safe dental practice. Feel free to discuss this topic with Dr. Tallbacka and receive a straightforward answer.

We are always happy to give you a tour of our modern sterilization center!

Dr. Tallbacka and our entire team follow procedures recommended by several federal agencies: the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). These measures include:

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

The best defense against disease is information. The more you know, the better you can make wise healthcare decisions. The more you know about our daily procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.
