What could happen if infection control rules are not followed

Posted .

If infection control rules are not followed in a dental office, things can get pretty serious. Even small mistakes can lead to germs spreading from one patient to another. 

For example, if tools are not cleaned properly, bacteria or viruses could stay on them and then be used on the next patient. This could cause infections that nobody expected to get from a dental visit. 

Not washing hands or not changing gloves can also spread germs really easily. Even surfaces like the chair or light can become a problem if they’re not disinfected between patients. 

It can also put the dental staff at risk, not just patients. That’s why these rules are followed so strictly every single day. 

At our office, we follow infection control rules carefully so patients can feel safe and comfortable during their visit. You can book with Dr. Abid Hidayat, we’re open Monday to Saturday. We also speak Gujarati, Hindi, Urdu, Tagalog, and Arabic. You can call 416 546 5599 if you need to book or ask anything.
