A few weeks ago our office had our annual Cal-OSHA course on Infection Control Regulations. Being relatively new to the office, I just assumed we'd get some dry facts, be told we're doing well with all the standards, and be done with it. With plenty of humor and scary but informative facts by Tom Terry, I actually learned some stuff.
I'd like you to know that we do adhere to all standards and made the Exceptional Dental Offices List again this year. Despite making the list and passing the standards, the course was a definite reminder in work and in life that we cannot let ourselves become complacent with mediocrity or cutting corners. Mr. Terry informed us only 2% of dental offices he visits are compliant with all standards -- scary, in my opinion. Luckily, we are in that 2%. I take it back. It's not luck, but through diligence and desire for perfection. Do YOU trust your loved ones visiting a dental office that doesn't take all measures possible to ensure their safety? That's the mentality we take; don't do anything we wouldn't want for our family. All of our patients are family to us. In fact, if you ever question or are just curious, we will gladly give you a tour of our office to show you where and how we sanitize equipment and answer any other questions you may have.
Here's to continued efforts in making your safety our priority!
