Infection control is the routine, invisible work that keeps a dental office safe. Sterilization of instruments, single-use barriers, treatment-room turnover between patients, water-line monitoring, and ongoing training for every member of the team.
Scottsville Family Dentistry follows the standards set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Virginia Board of Dentistry. Dr. Azevedo and Dr. Lee believe that doing this well is not optional — it is part of caring for the families who trust us.
Many of the steps you will notice — the new pair of gloves, the sealed instrument pouches, the wiped-down chair before you sit down — are part of a much longer protocol. If you ever have questions about how we keep our office clean and safe, ask any team member and we will walk you through it.
