At Bridgewater Dental Center, your health and safety are our top priorities. Rigorous infection control protects not only our patients but also our team. A foundation of trust is essential to a strong patient-dentist relationship, and we encourage you to ask any questions you may have — you deserve clear and honest answers.

​

Our entire team strictly follows the latest guidelines from agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Our safety protocols include the use of disinfectant hand soap, gloves, face masks, chemical disinfection of surfaces, and the sterilization of all equipment prior to each use. Reusable instruments, including dental handpieces, are thoroughly sterilized in an autoclave — a device that eliminates bacteria and viruses through steam, heat, and pressure.

​

We believe that information is one of the best defenses against disease. The more you know about our daily infection control practices, the more confident you can feel about your care and your health decisions.
