Infection Prevention and Control
Your Wellbeing Comes First
Every patient deserves to feel confident that their dental care is delivered in a clean, carefully managed environment. At Precision Dental, infection prevention and control is part of everything we do, and it is one of the areas assessed as part of our status as an accredited practice.
How We Protect Our Patients and Team
Instrument Sterilisation
Reusable instruments are cleaned, packaged and sterilised in an autoclave, which uses high-pressure steam. Sterilisation cycles are monitored and recorded.
Single-Use Items
Wherever practical, we use single-use, disposable items that are discarded after each patient.
Surface Decontamination
Treatment rooms, dental chairs and surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between every patient.
Personal Protective Equipment
Our clinical team wears gloves, masks, protective eyewear and gowns as appropriate. We also provide protective eyewear for patients during treatment.
Dental Water Quality
Water used in our dental equipment is managed and filtered to maintain water quality during treatment.
Training and Review
Our team is trained in infection prevention and control, and our procedures are regularly reviewed in line with Dental Board of Australia guidelines and Australian standards.
Questions?
If you would like to know more about our infection prevention and control procedures, please ask any member of our team. We are always happy to explain.
