MK Dental Care offers an answer to Better Cross Infection Control By Dentists: Click on Dental Information and Advice
Patient Safety is our top priority.
At MKDentalCare we have always prided ourselves in the quality of our cross infection control. Patients may notice things like gloves and clean sinks but there is much more to it than that.
We start with Staff Training. Not only the Nurses but the receptionists too.
Every single member of staff knows how important this issue is and the
role they
play in ensuring the highest levels of Cross Infection Control. Our staff have regular training and recently received
certificates for the Cross Infection Control Course we completed. These
certificates are n the wall in the reception.
In so far as is possible we use disposable materials. Where we re use we always autoclave.
We use a tray system for instruments which is acknowledged to be more effective that storage in draws. Every practice Inspection that we have had has remarked about the fact that we comply with the highest standards of cross infection control.
There are basic levels of cross infection control which all dentists have to conform to but many dentists go well beyond them. We believe we are in this group.
We not only train our staff but we invest as well. To ensure that we can maintain the highest standards we havetwo Autoclaves so that in the event of a breakdown we can continue to maintain the highest standards.
The main priorities of our Cross Infection Control policy are
(a) Effective Hand washing.
(b)
Using Protective barriers.(c) Management of healthcare waste.
(d) Correct handling and disposal of needles and sharps.
(e) Cleaning and Decontamination of work surfaces.
(f) Effective cleaning, decontamination and sterilisation of equipment including hand pieces and drills.
(g) Use of appropriate disinfectants.
(h) Correct storage of sterile instruments and equipment.
(i) Appropriate use of barriers including gloves, bibs, Face masks, protective clothing and eye protection
(j) Needle stick injury policy.
(k) Maintaining dental chair unit water quality
(l) Decontamination of impressions and prosthetic appliances.
(m) Monitoring of staff immunisations and vaccinations.
(n) Maintaining a safe environment including Aspiration and Ventilation
Whenever I visit other practices the one thing I always look at is the standard of cross infection control. I never ever believe that you can say you have your cross infection control is perfect, however over and above everything else, it is the one thing we are constantly trying to improve.

David's surgery is large and bright, with the latest equipment. This surgery is always admired by dentists when they visit the surgery, as everything is close at hand, yet hidden away. Cross infection control was at the heart of our surgery planning. |

In order to comply with the highest standards of Cross Infection Control we try to reduce to the minimum, the amount of equipment on show, and keep the clinical surface clear. This facilitates cleaning and sterilisation procedures. |

We value continuous professional development and recently one of our nurses passed the NVQ level 3 in Dental Nursing and received a merit award (one of only 42). Also recently two of our nurses, who are already qualified Dental Nurses, were awarded the Dental Radiography certificate from Bristol University, one of them qualified as a dental Radiographer after getting the best mark in their written exam for the Dental Radiography Certificate.
In addition we were very proud when two of our team have won major dental education prizes. One of our nurses was awarded the highest prize for achievement in their Dental Nurse Training by Buckinghamshire Health Authority. This competition was open to all Dental Nurses. This was the first time in 8 years that this prestige prize has been awarded. In addition David was awarded the top prize by The British Dental Association (Milton Keynes) at the end of a recent Post Graduate Education program. Continuous Professional Development is compulsory for all dentists and the prize was hotly contested over 30 local dentists who took part.
We are now a Recognised Dental Practice for Dental Nurse Training, and at the moment have 3 nurses who are with us for part-time work experience every week. Our practice offers the chance to use the latest equipment and work with the most modern materials, and in addition we also have a very close working relationship with the local Dental Specialists. In the last 5 years or so we have had 3 trainee Dental Nurses qualify after doing their work experience with us.
We are delighted to welcome a new member of our team. Tina is going to be working with us as an Hygienist. She will be working on Saturday to begin with and will be in addition to Nur, our existing Hygienist.
Tina is an experienced hygienist. She commented after her first day how well trained and friendly our team was. She said she was particularly impressed with our emphasis on prevention and the high quality of knowledge of our Nursing staff.
Tina also remarked that our prices for tooth brushes etc were in her experience unbeatable. She also said complimented us on our exceptionally high standard of cross infection control. She said normally when an hygienist starts in a new job she has to make a few changes, however she found we already had all the materials she needed to do 1st class hygiene work.
We now have 3 qualified Dental Nurses. We believe that this reflects the high importance we attach to training and professional development.
