Your Dentist Wears These 4 Items to Protect Your Health

The dental office is an environment designed to treat oral-periodontal diseases, in different patients. As in other medical units, hygiene and asepsis rules are imposed in dental offices to prevent the transmission of various diseases and infections from patients to medical staff and vice versa, or even from one patient to another (cross-contamination). Given these particularities of the environment in which Highlands Ranch sedation dentistry offices carry out their activity , it is easy to understand why they wear some particular items.
Here are 4 of them:
1.The medical gown - it prevents exposure to contaminants on clothes worn on the street.
2.The cap or any other item meant to hide the doctor's hair - it has a very important role, often underestimated. It must be worn during therapeutic operations, especially those that generate large amounts of aerosols (e.g. descaling), to prevent contamination with various pathogens.
3.The oro-nasal (facial) protective mask – it protects both the patient and the dentist against the transmission of viruses and other microorganisms, while they are very exposed to each other, during the treatment.
4.Protective gloves – these are the main barrier against the transmission of dangerous pathogens from doctor to patient and vice versa.
