OSHA, and the Center for Disease Control. We employ
hospital cleanliness standards and sterilization techniques.
BIDC has control checks in place to provide a clean,
disinfected environment for each patient. Policies are
in place to ensure that all rooms and equipment are
properly set up and sterilized daily and after each
use. Water used for patient treatment are ultra-violet
and ozonation filtered. We use protective equipment
such as latex gloves, masks, eyewear, and lab coats.
And when possible, we use disposable items.
BIDC welcomes your questions and the opportunity to
demonstrate how we handle sterilization techniques and
patient protection. We want you to feel comfortable
about your treatment in our office.
Sterilisation equipments
Dental instruments are precision tools which require
regular maintenance. All our equipments and instruments
are maintained and sterilised according to international
standards using CE certified sterilisation machines.
Our clinical
handpieces, dental
units and other
machines are selected not only for their technological
advancements but also for their specific design focus
on sterilization approaches.
Our dental appliances are individually packed and sealed
by our impulse autosealer machine then autoclaved by
our pre-vacuumed autoclave units in viewpacks for each
patient. Every pack of dental appliances are dated to
uphold high standards of sterilisation.
At BIDC, extra steps are taken to ensure all our equipments
are properly and fully sterilized. Separate steriliazation
machines are kept for autoclaving instruments and clinical
handpieces. Please see our sterilization
machines and technologies for more details on our
concentrated focus with regards to the area of sterilization.
