Patient Safety at Kearns Family Dental
At Kearns Family Dental, we make patient safety our top priority. Our Allentown office is designed with strict sterilization, disinfection, and personal protective measures to ensure that you can focus on your dental health without any concerns. Whether it’s the sterilization of tools or our enhanced cleaning protocols, we go beyond standard regulations to protect both our patients and staff.
Sterilization and Cleaning Protocols
Our dental instruments are thoroughly sterilized between uses, utilizing an autoclave that heats tools to kill all bacteria and viruses. In addition, we use disposable materials whenever possible to ensure complete sanitation.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Our dentists, hygienists, and assistants wear single-use PPE, including gloves, masks, and eyewear, to ensure a clean and safe environment. Extra clothing is available to staff for any changes needed during the day to maintain a sanitary workspace.
Disinfection and Surface Cleaning
We disinfect frequently touched surfaces multiple times daily with medical-grade disinfectants, including countertops, doorknobs, and patient areas. This is complemented by regular office cleaning outside business hours.
Filtered Water Lines
We use filtered water lines to prevent harmful bacteria from entering the water used during dental procedures. Regular checks ensure that our water systems maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and safety.
A Commitment to Health
We ask patients and staff alike to stay home if feeling unwell to ensure a healthy and safe environment for everyone. Our team works together to maintain these high standards, ensuring that every visit is a safe one.
