Dental practices face unique infection control challenges—from aerosol-generating procedures to sterilization protocols. With rising patient expectations and evolving regulations, this is the right time for dental clinics to take a fresh look at infection prevention.
1. Manage Aerosols Effectively – High-speed instruments increase risk. Proper ventilation, barriers, and PPE help reduce transmission.
2. Standardize Sterilization Protocols – Instrument reprocessing is a common weak point. Regular monitoring and audits ensure compliance.
3. Build Confidence with Clear Policies – Written infection control policies reassure staff, patients, and inspectors.
4. Train Staff to Protect Patients – Annual IPAC education keeps everyone aligned with best practices.
5. Conduct Regular Audits – Independent audits identify gaps before inspections or complaints arise.
Dental clinics that invest in strong IPAC programs don’t just meet compliance—they build trust. At Sterixa, we provide physician-led infection control reviews tailored for dental practices across Ontario
