Your Child's Safety

We understand that you may have concerns about infection control procedures which we use or other safety issues in our office.

Our rigorous sterilization and infection control procedures are consistently applied and conform to the stringent recommendations of the College of Dental Surgeons of British Columbia and the Canadian Dental Association. We use clean and new disposable masks and latex gloves for each patient. Non-latex gloves are available if your child has an allergy to latex. All of our dental units are outfitted with a clean water system. We use a scientifically proven micro-filtration system to proved filtered, disinfected water during our treatment procedures. Our infection control procedures are routinely tested to ensure your child’s safety.

The exposure of children to radiation during the taking of dental radiographs is also a matter of concern for parents and our office staff. Our policy is to determine the need for dental x-rays on an individual basis and then to take the minimum number of x-rays possible consistent with providing the best quality of dental care.

To develop the safest yet most effective course of treatment for each child, our office ensures that other health care workers who are familiar with your child’s medical, social psychological or developmental histories are consulted, with your permission, before or during the delivery of dental treatment.
