Infection Control

Standards and Best Practice

At Cashion and Cody Dental, our approach to sterilization or cleanliness is to consider how we would want to be treated. Every instrument is carefully cleaned and sterilized with state of the art equipment.

The Staff is trained annually on the latest infection control guidelines and therefore new procedures can be implemented as necessary.

Water Quality and Biofilms

We follow the correct procedures to clean the dental water lines so that we can eliminate the buildup of any biofilm if it is present.

Some health "experts" in recent years have called into question the risks associated with so-called "biofilms," which are thin layers of microscopic germs that collect on virtually any surface. Essentially, these bacteria and fungi occur everywhere, including faucets in your home; your body is no less accustomed to being exposed to them than in any other situations.

In fact, no scientific evidence has linked biofilms with disease. If you have a compromised or weakened immune system, you are susceptible to germs everywhere. Consequently, let our office know if you have such a condition so additional precautions, if any, can be taken.
