Infection Control

At Hick Lane Dental Surgery we know how important it is to follow procedures correctly and efficiently in order to achieve safe standards of infection control.

To achieve this all new members staff will receive an induction on infection control and decontamination. We undergo regular training to keep us up to date. All our decontamination procedures comply with HTM01-05 guidelines recommended by the British Dental Institute.

At Hick Lane Dental Surgery we are fortunate to have a central sterilization room. All instruments that are used in surgery are taken using transportation boxes into the sterilization room where the decontamination and sterilization take place.

All our patients can therefore feel reassured that they are in the best possible hands when visiting our surgery.
