Sterilization and Disinfection

We’ve always put a high priority on creating a safe environment for not only our patients but our staff as well. Being in the healthcare industry, we recognize how important that is on an ongoing basis. That’s why we stress the importance of delivering on a safe and comfortable dental experience 100% of the time.

Proper cleaning and disinfection of our treatment rooms and sterilization of our equipment is and has always been a top priority. The Manitoba Dental Association (MDA) has strict sterilization and infection control guidelines, which have been in place for many, many years.

With the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve enhanced our sterilization processes and treatment room processes even more. These updates include:

• Installation of a new HRV system. This system brings fresh outside air into the building on a continual basis.
• Every treatment room is equipped with a Surgically Clean Air Purifier. A hospital-grade air purifier, it completely cleans the room of airborne bacteria and viruses every four minutes. It uses multi-stage purifying technologies to clean, purify and re-energize the indoor air. With its six-stage filtration system, it captures viruses, dust particles, pollen, volatile organic chemicals, gases, mold, allergens, odors, and many other pollutants that are found in the air in workplaces.
• Fully enclosed treatment rooms so that the Surgically Clean Air Purifier can work effectively.
• All surfaces in each treatment room are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between every patient. We also coat them with a barrier that destroys bacteria and viruses upon contact.

When you visit our offices, you can be confident that we are doing everything possible to provide you with a safe and comfortable visit. If you have any questions about your safety or our processes, we’re always here to chat. Reach out to us by phone or through email.
