Good infection control and sterilization are key to running a successful dental office.  Dr. Adsit and his team have extensive knowledge and training on proper sterilization.  Our Midmark 11 is one of the best autoclaves in the industry.  All of our instruments are scrubbed and cleaned in a special ultrasonic solution before being sterilized.  The pouches that the instruments are sterilized in have a special indicator on them letting us know that our instruments are sterile.  In addition to this, we perform weekly spore testing on our autoclave per the CDC guidelines and clean our autoclave on a monthly basis.

Our treatment rooms are disinfected in between patients using hospital grade disinfectants such as Cavicide spray and Cavicide Wipes.  All patient contact surfaces are disinfected and allowed to rest before our next patient is seated in the treatment room.

Dental biofilms, or complex microorganism colonies, can build up inside dental chair lines.  To minimize dental biofilm buildup, we only use distilled water in our dental chairs, we place waterline maintenance tablets inside our distilled water reservoirs, and flush our dental lines on a weekly basis using Liquid Ultra.

All dental impressions and dentures are disinfected using Cavicide spray before they are reviewed in our in house lab or submitted to our dental lab partner.
