Dental patient AIDS concerns
 A
recent survey of dental patients nation wide showed that patient
protection was #1 on their list of concerns about dental care. Some
patients have even quit going to the dentist because of their fears.
At Bryan A Griffith DMD we have responded by adopting "universal (or
standard) precautions". These involve sterilizing all instruments in
dry-heat ovens or steam autoclaves to kill any bacteria. Disposable
items are used whenever possible.
The chance of contracting an infection in the dental chair is
extremely remote, but the chance of losing one's teeth because of
lack of proper dental care is extremely likely.
If you have any concerns, please call us at (606) 874-9311 today.
