At DentiFlow Dentistry, the health and safety of our patients and staff have always been at the core of everything we do. We follow rigorous infection control protocols to maintain a clean, sterile, and safe environment for every dental procedure. These measures are not just reactive—they are proactive, consistent, and align with the highest standards of dental safety and hygiene in Ontario.
We are fully compliant with the guidelines established by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO), Public Health Ontario, and Health Canada to protect you before, during, and after every visit.
When you visit DentiFlow, your health and safety are never compromised. Here’s what you can expect:
A clean, sanitized environment from the front desk to the operatory
Friendly staff members following all health and safety protocols
Reassurance that every instrument and surface has been properly disinfected
Clear instructions if any special measures are required before or after your appointment
Our team will also be happy to explain any of our procedures in detail should you have questions about how we maintain infection control.
All dental instruments are either single-use or fully sterilized using advanced autoclave technology between each patient. Our sterilization area is monitored daily to ensure all tools meet strict sterilization standards before being used again.
We disinfect treatment rooms and high-touch surfaces thoroughly after every patient. All dental chairs, countertops, lights, and equipment are wiped down with medical-grade disinfectants that kill bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19 and flu viruses.
We have invested in high-efficiency air filtration systems in our treatment areas to reduce airborne contaminants. Our air purifiers and HVAC systems help maintain a clean and breathable clinical environment for patients and staff alike.
Our clinical team wears appropriate PPE for every procedure, including masks, gloves, protective eyewear, and gowns. This helps ensure a barrier of safety between patients and providers at all times.
Hand hygiene is practiced at all critical points during patient care. Our team members follow a strict hand-washing routine and utilize hand sanitizers located throughout the clinic.
Where possible, we use single-use disposable items (such as suction tips, gloves, and protective covers) to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination.
Infection prevention is not a temporary measure—it is a permanent part of our dental philosophy. Whether you’re visiting us for a routine check-up or a complex procedure, you can be confident that your care is delivered in a setting that prioritizes cleanliness, hygiene, and your well-being.
We routinely review our protocols and train our team to stay up to date with evolving infection control recommendations, ensuring that our clinic meets and exceeds current health standards.
