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 is committed to using the most up to date materials.
