INFECTION CONTROL
In our dental office in Austin, nothing has higher priority than infection control. For your safety, and the safety of ourselves, Dr. Griffin Cole and his team follow the most rigorous protocols of sterilization and infection control.
Most items used chairside are disposable. Those instruments that are reusable are properly cleaned, disinfected and run through a state-of-the-art autoclave sterilizer that is monitored by an independent laboratory to verify its effectiveness. This sterilizer kills all bacteria, viruses and spores. Our office has twice voluntarily invited an Occupational Safety and Health Administration examiner for an on-site inspection. Both times, we exceeded their standards for safety.
Our goal is to exceed what is expected of us. Because we work meticulously with individuals and do NOT run a volume clinic, we are able to precisely monitor our infection control procedures. Should you have any questions regarding this subject, please feel free to call or email. We welcome anyone for an on-site tour of the office and our infection control procedures.
