A New Year’s Metal Safety and Sanitation Checklist for Dental Practice

A wonderful goal to strive for in 2021 is to create and follow a metal safety and sanitation checklist for your dental practice, which will allow you to offer your patients an even higher quality experience in your office.

One of the simplest ways to ensure the highest quality metal tools and surfaces is to treat your stainless steel with our electropolishing finishing option. During the everyday, though, there are a number of ways to keep your practice clean and safe. Below is a dental practice checklist that you can use to supplement your current measures, making for the optimal environment to attend to your patience—important in pandemic times and otherwise.

• Every hour or so, wipe down the metal parts of seats, tables, and other surfaces in which patients come in contact, as metal may harbor significant amounts of harmful bacteria. For extra precautions, wipe down these surfaces after each time a patient comes in contact with them.
• Sanitize using metal-friendly fluids and avoid cleaning with abrasive cloths or materials. It is always best to use a tested commercial product, especially in a medical environment such as a dental office.
• Avoid leaving cleaning solution and other liquids to dry on your stainless steel parts and surfaces, as doing so can full the finish over time or cause permanent surface imperfections.
• Ensure all technicians have been properly trained in all health, safety, and sanitization measures for your metal surfaces.
