    Patient Comfort & Safety

    We strictly observe all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines. All instruments are cleaned, disinfected, and routinely sterilized as recommended by the American Dental Association and the Center for Disease Control. Whenever possible, disposable single use instruments are used to ensure patient safety. Hand-pieces (drills) are sterilized with a state-of-the-art autoclave prophylaxis unit. All surfaces in the treatment rooms are cleaned and disinfected after each patient.

     

    Infection controls and Universal Precautions protect patients and practice staff alike.  Everyone benefits for stringent infection control.  The cornerstone of a professional and hygienic dental practice is the element of trust.  Patients should feel free to address topics of infection control with Dr. Merrick and receive straightforward feedback.  The entire staff at Dr. Merrick’s Dental Studio follows health procedures recommended by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). We use an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria, spores and viruses by steam, heat and pressure.  The more you know about our daily procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.
