Dental patient AIDS concerns
 A recent survey of dental patients
in the Edina 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.At Southdale Family Dentistry we have responded by adopting "universal (or standard) precautions". These involve sterilizing all instruments in dry-heat ovens or steam autoclaves to kill any bacteria. Disposable items are used whenever possible.
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 likely.
If you have any concerns, please call us at (952) 926-6081
