Infection control remains an important part of dentistry, especially at our clinic. Our infection control processes are enabled in order to provide the highest quality care for our patients while at the same time providing a safe environment for our staff. All of our infection control recommendations are in align with the U.S. Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and Minnesota Board of Dentistry. We are constantly monitoring and following these recommendations in order to stay up to date and provide quality care.
