Patient Concern About AIDS - How Gunbarrel Dental Center Protects You & Your Family
A
recent survey of dental patients in the Boulder area and nation wide
showed that patient protection was #1 on their list of concerns about
dental care. Some patients have even quit going to the dentist because
of their fears.Fortunately, trips to Dr. Savory's office have never been safer. The case in Florida where the patient was apparently infected with the AIDS virus by her dentist is the only such case out of tens of millions of dental treatments performed since the introduction of the virus. The Center for Disease Control still does not know the method of infection.
However, even one case is too many. At Gunbarrel Dental Center we have responded by adopting "universal (or standard) precautions". These involve sterilizing all instruments in dry-heat ovens or steam autoclaves to kill any bacteria. Single use, disposable items are used routinely.
The chance of contracting an infection in the dental chair is extremely remote, but the chance of losing one's teeth because of lack of proper dental care is extremely likely.
If you have any concerns or you would like a tour of our sterilization department, please call us at (303) 530-4145 today.
