Drs. Farhoumand and their staff care about your safety and work hard to prevent the spread of infection
We have always complied with strict OSHA-mandated protocols to maintain a highly sterile environment within our dental office. These guidelines were created to safeguard against the spread of severely contagious diseases such as tuberculosis and measles, and they are equally effective in managing the spread of influenza and coronavirus.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Sterilization Procedures
Drs. Farhoumand and their staff will use PPE as a routine, including: KN95 Masks, Level 3 Masks, Gloves, Protective Gowns, Eye-protective Wear, Face Shields, Shoe Covers, and more. These items are discarded between patients or sanitized and disinfected to mitigate any patient-to-patient transmission.
- Frequent hand washing using soap and water is being implemented, according to CDC regulations.
- Strict surface cleaning and disinfection are being enforced in each operatory room and common areas.
- All dental instruments are thoroughly cleaned and packed in individual sterile pouches before being heat sterilized in steam autoclave machines.
- We use only distilled water for our machinery and perform weekly spore tests on our Autoclave machine, ensuring perfect performance for each cycle of sterilization.
