Infection Control
Infection controls and universal precautions protect clients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control — you, your dentist, and the dental team. The cornerstone in a good and safe dental practice is the element of trust. You should feel free to discuss this topic with Dr. Willis, Dr. Podbesek, Dr. Taylor, Dr. DeAngelis, Dr. Chung or Dr. Parvez and receive a straightforward answer.
Dr. Willis, Dr. Podbesek, Dr. Taylor, Dr. DeAngelis, Dr. Chung or Dr. Parvez and our entire team follow procedures recommended by several federal agencies: the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
