Sanitization of tools and instruments
Hi, I would like to know how do the dentist sanitize the tools and the instruments are used during the treatment with every patient. Is it sanitized after every patient or at the EOD? I visited one of the clinic and this question came up in my mind.
What is the hygienic way to take care of the patients?

All the doctors sterilizes their armamentarium before any procedure. Your doubts are good. But instead of raising your doubts in a public portal you are welcome to clear your doubts with the doctor at your consultation visit itself. If you are satisfied with the sterilization protocols you may decide about taking the treatment. We at our Centre in chennai are very transparent and insists our patients to clear their doubts before taking a call. The fees also includes the best sterilization treatment.

Great question.
Good awareness .
The instruments which are reusable are sterilized by “Autoclave”
Using of “disposable” items which is for single use like needles, syringe,glass, suction tips,tissue napkins, table top, patient apron etc are all thrown away after single use.
Special Surgical instruments is sterilized by special “ class B autoclave “.
Fumigation is done to sterilize the surgical area.
Chemical disinfection of chair and floor
So many things it’s very vast topic to discuss .
