You'll see the visible parts of infection control at every visit: the new gloves, the sealed instrument pouches, the wiped-down chair waiting for you. Behind those are the routine steps that keep a dental office safe — instrument sterilization, single-use barriers, treatment-room turnover, water-line monitoring, and ongoing team training.
Your safety is governed by the standards set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Virginia Board of Dentistry, and Dr. Azevedo and Dr. Lee treat those standards as the floor, not the ceiling. Doing this well isn't optional — it's part of caring for the families who trust us.
If you ever have a question about how we keep the office clean and safe, ask any team member and you'll get a clear walkthrough. It's a question we welcome.
