Infection Control

Infection Control

Sterilization for Infection control is one of the important task in our practice. We use moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure methods, which is the most effective way to kill any bacterial spores or microorganisms. Steam sterilization is a non-toxic procedure.

For your comfort and safety, our entire team at Dr. Ajay Mehta, DDS follows procedures recommended by several federal agencies: the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA,) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

These measures include:

• Gloves and face masks

• Disinfection of countertops and surfaces

• Sterilization of all equipment before every use

• Disposable materials

• Our practice is equipped with The Air Scrubber Advanced by Aerus, a system that installs directly into our commercial HVAC – an air purification system that :
