Infection Control

We meet or exceed the guidelines laid out by the BC College of Oral Health Professionals.
From our frequent handwashing/sanitization to PPE to engineering controls, infection control is a top priority here at River District Dentistry. Here’s some other things that ensure our facility is one of the safest places to be:

Powered Door Openers

Our entrance doors are powered to reduce contact with high-touch surfaces - instead of using door handles, please use the buttons both inside and outside for entry/exit.

Disinfectant Wipe Downs

Between patient appointments, surfaces in our treatment rooms are wiped with medical-grade disinfectant wipes (which are virucidal against coronaviruses).

Instrument Sterilization

All instruments are first disinfected with an instrument-washer, followed up by sterilization with medical-grade steam autoclaves.
Disposable barriers: One-time use film barriers are used on high touch surfaces that can’t be steam sterilized.

Digital Forms and Payment

Since we opened, we leveraged technology to allow for new patient information forms to be filled out online, at home, before you come to the clinic.This eliminates the traditional pen-and-paper process. For anyone that forgets to fill them out in advance, we have easily-cleaned tablets available for these forms to be filled out. We heavily advocate for credit/debit transactions that don’t involve passing cash back and forth.

Isodry/ReLeaf

These one-time use devices significantly reduce droplet splatter, as well as:

  • Give you something to rest your jaw on so you don’t strain your jaw muscles.
  • Keep your cheeks and tongue out of harms’ way.
  • Suck out excess water and saliva so they don’t pool in your mouth.
  • Free up our hands to help us complete your treatment much quicker!
