Patient Safety

Patient safety and providing a sanitary environment is critical and important to us. Mascoma Dental Associates follows a strict infection control program that virtually eliminates the risk of disease transmission to your or your family while in our office.

The procedures we use allow us to provide our patients with optimum infection control, meeting the standards and guidelines of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the American Dental Association (ADA). Our Infection Control Program is in effect for each patient before, during and after treatment.

• Sterilization by heat, pressure or liquid chemicals as indicated is used on all non-disposable instruments. Disposable supplies and instruments are used when ever practical and possible.
• Laboratory infection control measures are observed in our own laboratory and by our outside dental laboratory services.
