hi I'm dr. Greg AFC here at 1 1 2 7 0 13 mile road in Warren Michigan I'd like to speak with you today and actually do a demonstration through my assistant Natasha on the importance of clean technique and what it looks like in a dental office in our dental office it's just very important we feel it's very important and you probably do too that the the dental treatment room where you have your dental care done is properly cleaned and you should be aware that you should know whether that's the case or not so I just want to give you an idea what it looks like to clean up a room between patients we just did a surgical extraction of a tooth on a patient and though this happens to be it can be a bloody procedure that this wasn't particularly bloody but in any case whether we see blood or not we have to treat this room as though it's covered in blood so that's that's kind of the thinking behind how you take how we take care of and how a dentist office should take care of their rooms between patients so come on in Natasha Natasha and of course she wears gloves and masks and that's more for her own protection while she's working so she's just gonna go through this process it does take a while just want you to get an idea of what what actually transpired between each of our patients so everything comes out handpieces the all of the instruments so first she has to tarry the room down basically so I'll stand aside and these are going into the sterilization room and possible shooting just it's all disposable water for one patient so all the plastics are removed every time and replaced every time so basically we touch our hand pieces and are these instruments here that are not sterilized we touch them only through plastic so we never actually touched those instruments when we're working with patients unfortunately it's a lot of plastic waste but we feel it's better the idea here is to prevent any cross-contamination between our patients anything that might have been spattered with blood or our hands have blood on them and then we touched something that's a potential source of cross-contamination from patient to patient hepatitis is passed very easily from patient to patient via blood and it's also very sturdy virus and last time either I service for a while other news as well same way so all right so now our plastics have been removed now we use this product cabby wipes which is a standard right it's it's tuberculosis Idol yes and it is very strong tuberculosis Idol bactericidal virus Idol fungicidal and it's these are standards standard things that we use in dentistry so those are wet basically wet wipes but much stronger than what we use to clean up a baby or whatever so even though things have been covered we still wipe them because it's possible that that one of the covers could have been broken you know things so nothing's completely sure so it's kind of a double standard we've out here I mean we I mean we just overdo it and those wipes should be wet when we're using them as they dry out the the solution evaporates in so Natasha will change them as she goes along because they need to meet me wet it just because Muslim disco right so sort of left our dilemma open receivers so they have to be [Applause] safety glasses for the patients right this is something there are certain things that are used over like the chain that holds the napkin on and that has to be right sometimes we have to go into the drawers during the procedure so we need to make sure those are clean as well no good god now everything is covered popsicle loves up that those are Cosco clear trash bags of course it takes time vacations so then the next step is to cover each and every one of those items that we're going use on the next patient with these little barriers it's a long process I'm running out of things to say and that doesn't usually happen but what she's doing is speaking for itself and so when we schedule our patience we have to schedule time in between our patients so that this process can happen because we run a small office and we need to we need to assure that there's enough time to have the room cleaned up so that we're ready to go for our next patient if you're here and we're running a little behind it's because most likely we're cleaning up after the last tape of course after cleaning and before changing min elastics natasha has changed her gloves look she has clean love for that second part of the process the portion of the instruments those drills the portion of the drills that enters the mouth is sterilized in the autoclave and we're gonna go and look at that process next the process of cleanup of instruments to even give us an idea what that looks like all right so now we're ready to be unexpected yeah their next patient here yet all right so thank you for watching if you've made it this long and Thank You Natasha for doing such a good job for our patient we'll do our best for you every time you come to our office this is what we're all about keeping a clean healthy environment for our patients
