Like you, the staff at the Bouchard & Bélanger Dental Clinic believes the highest standards of hygiene and sterilization are uppermost in importance.

STERILIZATION IS A PRIORITY!

After use, all instruments and handpieces are deposited in a container for decontamination. The container is placed in a device that performs an initial sterilization at 93° C for one hour. Afterward, the instruments are wrapped, placed in another apparatus for another hour at 132° C, then placed in a dryer before they can be reused.

Anything that can’t be sterilized or discarded is disinfected and covered with a plastic film, which is changed after every visit. Chairs and counters are also cleaned and disinfected in between patients. The water tubes attached to dental tools are cleaned periodically with an antibacterial solution.

These standards of hygiene are checked and updated regularly for your safety and utmost comfort.
