Dental patient AIDS concerns
 A recent survey of dental patients
in the Suwanee area and nation wide showed that patient protection was #1 on their list of concerns about
dental care. Some patients have even quit going to the
dentist because of their fears.
Fortunately, trips to Dr. Patel's office have never been safer. Dr.
Patel wants you to know that patient protection is a top priority in
her office. This involves sterilizing all instruments in dry-heat
ovens or steam autoclaves to kill all bacteria. Also, Dr. Patel
strongly believes in using disposable items whenever possible.
We not only follow
the strict guidelines of the American Dental Association, we go
beyond them by using Emory Hospital as an independent sterilization
monitoring service to ensure the safety of our patients.
The chance of
contracting an infection in the dental chair is extremely remote,
but the chance of losing one's teeth because of lack of proper
dental care is extremely high.
