Because of human nature and the conditions of the world as it is today, infection control is a very primary concern to us. There are a number of known infectious diseases roaming around today and we are convinced that there will be more to come even yet.

Some people may not even know that they have an infectious disease. Some infectious diseases are quite serious (i.e. AIDS, hepatitis, TB, etc.) Others are usually more of a nuisance and irritation, although they can become more serious and debilitating (herpes). Others are very common with variable effects upon our life style (common colds, influenza, and other various "childhood" diseases)Even these can have serious consequences in the medically compromised individual.

We believe it is not enough to simply comply with the current laws and regulations in regards to INFECTION CONTROL. Sonshine Dental Care goes well beyond these standards in order to better protect our patients and our staff. We will practice the most progressive and effective control measures that we are able to discern and determine as much. Our office design, equipment, materials, professional attire, and procedures are all designed for optimum protection. Our goal is that no item or material contaminated by another person will enter your mouth.

While we strive to keep costs down in other ways, special infection control efforts will increase our costs as it will in all dental practices as laws and regulations in this area change. Conscientious infection control is also time consuming. However,we believe that the additional time and costs are well worth the protection.
