Specific steps to control infection

At Faces n Smiles dental, all the instruments used in patient’s mouth are chemically cleaned with 70% alcohol. Then the instruments are subject to ultrasonic cleaning which further removes any stains or saliva or blood on the instruments. After removal from ultrasonic cleaner, the instruments to be sterilized are dried manually with cloth or wipes. The next step is to packaging the instruments in the sterilization pouches and sealed. Then all the instruments undergo steam sterilization process in High Class N and B autoclaves.
