Treatment Policy

We propose and provide treatments that best suit the patientsf oral situation based on the most updated and most advanced technology we constantly acquire.We humbly listen to the patientsf voices of pains and complaints and give treatments that solve the problem as immediately as possible.
 

Disinfections and Sterilization

Today, we cannot ignore the problem of hospital infection (infection acquired from a patient to a different patient) in clinical practices (especially in the dentists).Particularly, highly contagious hepatitis B and viruses such as hepatitis C or AIDS, which are not so contagious but still infectious, must be sterilized and disinfected completely.We shall never have a possibility of hospital infection.In our clinic, as well as using disposable gloves, anesthetizing needles and anesthetic solution, we make assurance double sure in sterilization and disinfections of medical equipments.

For example, small dental equipments (such as reamers and files) that remove the tooth nerves are made by plastic and delicate metal parts, so it is not possible to sterilize them with autoclave treatment (general high-pressure steam sterilization) as done to other metal equipments.Also, hand pieces that are frequently used in dentists to trim teeth are so precise machines that they can be easily broken and consume too much time, thus, are not suitable for this type of sterilization.

So, in our clinic, we take the following combined measures such as using chemical cleaning method (Picture 2) simultaneously, to ensure the safe clean condition.

  • Metal dental equipments

  • Hand pieces
    Wipe with alcohol-soaked gauze and EX Clave sterilizer (this sterilizer completely sterilizes hand pieces in 10 minutes.) (Picture 3)

Moreover, although it is not widely known, we must also prevent infection around the chairs used in the treatment room.For example, handle part of surgical lights (Picture 5) and panel switches (Picture 4) are frequently touched by dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants, but how would you feel if the saliva or blood of the previous patient could be attached to them?The problem can be solved by also using disposable protectors in these areas.And if the switch of surgical light can be put on and off by sensor, it reduces the human attachments to unnecessary parts and we can keep the clean treatment environment.

It takes extra effort and time, but these measures are very important in infection prevention.Our measures are based on the strict US standards.
