- Special needs screen will be reviewed and discussed with our Child and Youth Practitioner
- Insurance verse non insurance payment process
- We will discuss the process of the appointment, logistic, space needed
How we prepare our equipment for your appointment
- All our instruments are pre-sterilized according to the Canadian Dental Hygiene Organizations Standard and Public Health infection control standards (IPAC Infection Prevention and Control).
- All of our instrument is specially packaged with a Steam Sterilization Integrator Type 5 which clearly indicates a PASS or FAIL for Steam Sterilization
- Each sterilization load also has a Self-contained Biological Indicator. How it works is the BI is exposed to the sterilization process and then incubated for 24 hours, once the BI test is complete and there no spores that survived the process, then the instruments are released for use.
