Health and Safety
Dental Domain have increased our already strict protocols recently for both patient and staff protection.
We have elevated and updated our Infection Prevention and Control Standard Practices beyond those issued and regulated by the New Zealand Dental Council. This includes sterilisation of clinical and non-clinical areas of the practice. The whole team at Dental Domain has on-going and extensive training to meet these stringent protocols and understand the rationale behind them.
Even with the best equipment and materials, the protection of patients and staff from cross infection is compromised if the equipment and cleaning products are used incorrectly. All our staff are all well trained in cross infection control – the correct way to maintain a ‘sterile chain’. We also regularly liaise with representatives from the companies that supply our sterilisation and disinfection products to keep up-to-date with the latest products and their proper use.
All members of our team undergo continual first aid and CPR training including defibrillation, and our clinicians undergo intensive life-saving training, NZRC level 4. We also have a comprehensive, up-to-date emergency kit and an oxygen supply on hand.
This gives our patients piece of mind knowing all our instruments, equipment and surfaces are continuously sterilised to beyond the expected standards. It is just another way we deliver clinical excellence, and show our commitment to patient well-being.
