Cross Infection/ Health & Safety
At Smile Essential we consider ourselves to be at the forefront of providing the very highest standards of cross infection control and we have made health and safety our highest priority. We use the latest techniques to give as much protection to both our patients and ourselves as is possible. We are continually updating our knowledge through external courses and demonstrations of the latest breakthroughs in technology.
Many of the guidelines we are following are produced by The British Dental Association and during our recent audit to become a member of The Good Practice scheme we had our health and safety policies under close scrutiny, and were found to have the highest of standards.
We use as many disposable items as possible in all treatments. This includes bibs, dental instrument trays, needles, impression trays, cups, a variety of single use instruments and of course gloves. All other items are autoclaved following a strict cross infection policy ensuring that our high standards are maintained.
We also make certain that all our equipment is regularly and properly maintained. All electrical items, including autoclave and x-ray machines, are screened and hold current safety certificates. The practice has an annual test of all fire extinguishers and carries out risk assessments as and when required. |
