Dental patient AIDS concerns
 A
recent survey of dental patients in the Midlothian area and nation
wide showed that patient protection was #1 on their list of concerns
about dental care. Some patients have even quit going to the dentist
because of their fears.Fortunately, trips to Dr. Sorenson's
office have never been safer. At Midlothian Family Dentistry we have
responded by adopting "universal (or standard) precautions". These
involve sterilizing all instruments in dry-heat ovens or steam
autoclaves to kill any bacteria. Disposable items are used whenever
possible.
The chance of contracting an infection in the dental chair is
extremely remote, but the chance of losing one's teeth because of
lack of proper dental care is extremely likely.
If you have any concerns, please call us at (804) 897-7900 today.
