Dentist Overland Park

Infection Control

At Kansas Dental Center, our priority as your dental care provider has always been to preserve and protect your health and safety. As usual, we continue to follow all guidelines set forth by OSHA and the ADA in order to provide a clean, safe, environment in which to protect your health, both oral and otherwise. We are in this together.  

Among our precautionary measures include…

Hand Hygiene

Proper handwashing is one of the most important measures our dental team takes to prevent the spread of infection. For routine dental exams and nonsurgical procedures, we wash thoroughly with water and hand soap specifically created for healthcare settings.

Personal Protective Equipment

Overland Park dentist, Dr. Papinsick, and our dental team possess and use all necessary protective equipment, including face masks, gloves, protective eyewear, and protective clothing. Worn by our dental team and changed regularly, Personal Protective Equipment is designed to protect everyone in our practice from exposure to infectious agents. 

Sterilization and Disinfection of Patient-Care Items and Devices

Instruments and equipment used in your care are all regularly sterilized and disinfected to ensure that your health is maintained. Items such as surgical instruments and mouth mirrors are all subject to rigorous cleanings. 

Regular Sanitation:

Common touchpoints, including seating, workspaces, door handles, railings, and restrooms are sanitized on a regular basis by our dental team with effective cleaning solutions certified to kill viruses. 

Thank you for your continued trust and confidence in our dental team. Together, we can overcome these circumstances and continue your path to greater health. We look forward to taking care of you at your next appointment and wish you and your family the very best.
