Health Safeguards & Infection Control
In years past, many patients — because they couldn’t “see” what was wrong with their teeth — felt that they needed to have blind faith in their dentist and different cosmetic dentistry products. Well, thanks to modern technology, we’ve been able to solve this dilemma with our intra-oral camera. This device, installed in a small wand, shows patients a live video of their oral structures and helps the doctor explain the diagnosis and treatment options, as well as patient follow-up care. Smile, you’re on Covey Camera.
Today we are all concerned about health and safety issues. Please be assured that these are important issues at Highland Dental Health. Much of our training efforts and resources are concentrated on making our office technically advanced in the areas of safety and hygiene.
- Disposable masks and gloves changed for each patient
- Heat sterilization of all instruments and handpieces
- Covering and protection of all possible surfaces with clear, disposable wrap Holding to a strict infection control standard as part of our commitment to delivering the highest quality dental care, we incorporate routine use of the following safeguards to eliminate possible transmission of disease.
