We invite you to kindly read our clinic policy before starting treatment with us. Please do not hesitate to approach our clinical staff /dentist(s) if you require any clarification or if you have any questions and/ comments. Should you not be satisfied with our responses, we will understand if you decide to seek treatment elsewhere.
Infection Control
We believe that infection control is important to prevent cross contamination of diseases from patient to patient. Therefore, we presoak all our instruments in disinfectant solution after wash and pouch them before we autoclave them. Instruments that cannot be autoclaved undergo cold sterilization procedure. We use disposable cups, bibs, saliva ejectors, needles and cartridges. New polishing brushes are issued to patients for scaling and polishing. The brushes are returned to patients after the treatment. Patients may bring their own brushes for future treatment.
Consent
We normally obtain a written consent for treatment from adult patients i.e. above 21 years of age and parents/ guardian of young patients i.e. below 21 years of age. Consent forms and contract are signed prior to complex treatment e.g. implant placement, any surgery and before orthodontic treatment/braces e.g. bonding up and removal of fixed appliances/braces.
