Patient Safety in South Burlington, VT

Our Commitment to Your Safety

At Green Mountain Dental, your safety is our top priority. We follow strict infection control protocols that meet or exceed all guidelines set by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Our team is thoroughly trained in proper sterilization, disinfection, and hygiene procedures.

State-of-the-Art Sterilization

Every instrument used in our office goes through a rigorous multi-step sterilization process. After each patient, instruments are cleaned ultrasonically, packaged in sterilization pouches, and processed in medical-grade autoclaves that use high-pressure steam to eliminate all bacteria, viruses, and spores. We regularly test our sterilization equipment with biological indicators to verify that every cycle meets the highest standards.

Treatment rooms are thoroughly disinfected between patients using hospital-grade surface disinfectants. All disposable items, including gloves, masks, suction tips, and protective barriers, are used once and discarded. This protocol ensures that every surface you come into contact with is clean and safe.
