Infection Control

Infection controls and universal precautions protect patients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control; you, your dentist, and the dental team. The cornerstone in a good and safe dental practice is the element of trust. You should feel free to discuss this topic with the Drs. & staff and receive a straightforward answer.

Eisner Oral Surgery and our entire team follow procedures recommended by several federal agencies: the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). These measures include:

  • Gloves and face masks 
  • Disposable materials
  • Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces
  • Sterilization of all instruments before every use 
  •  Disinfectant hand soap

We sterilize all non-disposable instruments, including dental handpieces. We use an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria and viruses by steam, heat and pressure.

The best defense against disease is information. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make wise decisions about your health care. The more you know about our daily procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.
