YOUR HEALTH & SAFETY
The Cullen Dental Practice takes the safety and well-being of our patients very seriously. Strict procedures are followed in order to eliminate the risk of cross-infection.
The following procedures are followed for your protection:
- We use disposable products wherever possible.
- We wear a pair of disposable gloves, which are changed for each patient.
- Hands are cleaned before and after each patient using specially prepared medical scrub.
- We provide protective eyeglasses for patients.
- We wear facemasks and protective eyewear.
- All surfaces in the surgery are disinfected with the latest recommended antimicrobial products between patients.
- We have a central sterilizing area where our staff use the latest proven sterilization techniques.
- All handpieces and non disposable instruments are washed and then placed in an ultrasonic bath chemical sterilant.
- All instruments are then placed into an autoclave sterilizer. This is a proven method for denaturing the viruses.>
- Instruments are already in sterile pouches, where they stay until needed.
At the practice we have never had an incident of a patient suffering a collapse and needing emergency care, but just in case all of our team are thoroughly trained in first aid and resuscitation and we update our training at least once a year.
The practice has an automated external defibrillator, which can be used to treat the most common causes for sudden cardiac arrest in both adults and children.
The practice is committed to using the most up to date materials.
