With Modern Periodontics Dental Sterilization Policy, our patients can be sure that when they come into our office they are receiving top-of-the-line care in a clean and safe environment. Rest assured that we follow all of the guidelines set forth by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and the Occupational Saftey and Health Administration (OSHA) to protect our patients and staff and provide infection control in dental practice.

The ADA recommends that all dental practices, dental auxiliaries, and dental laboratories employ proper infection control procedures per the 2003 and 2016 CDC guidelines. We studied these guidelines closely to develop a dental sterilization process and policies. Some of the measures we take include:

  • Good hand hygiene : We use disinfectant soap to wash our hands before and after each patient, before we put sterile gloves on, after we remove them, and of course, any time our hands are soiled. Good handwashing practice is key to infection control in dentistry.
  • Use of gloves and face masks : Personal protection equipment, or PPE, is a key factor in infection control in dental practice. At Modern Periodontics, we use sterile, disposable gloves and facemasks and use a fresh set for each individual patient. When necessary, we also use disposable gowns and sanitized face shields.
  • Chemical disinfection of surfaces : We are extremely diligent when it comes to sterilization in our dental clinic. We use EPA-certified chemical disinfectants to wipe down all surfaces in our clinic, even our front office! In our treatment rooms, we disinfect after each patient, wiping down the treatment chair, our computers, light fixtures and switches, and all countertops.
  • Sterilization of dental instruments : There are many types of sterilization in dentistry, and the staff at Modern Periodontics, is trained in the safe administration of all of them per OSHA guidelines. We meticulously clean all of our tools with water and detergent before placing them in our state-of-the-art dental autoclave sterilizer or cold sterilization dental solution. If a tool cannot be properly sterilized per the CDC guidelines, it is disposed of after use.

    I was referred for a bone graft & laser treatment -- can't say enough good things about Dr. Storch and staff. Everyone I have interacted with has been a delight, Joan at the front desk has been especially helpful. I have been to bot the Arlington and Beaches offices, they are both very clean, bright and welcoming spaces.

    I received a bill for $600-something and called their Billing Dept. She informed me that the insurance wouldn't pay the claim and that it was so late that it'll have to be forwarded to their collection agency. Since I've been with them for several years, and to avoid the hassle, I thought it's just a glitch, plus, I was in a rush, so i just gave her my CC# and told her that I'll contact the insurance and get reimbursed. No problemo. I called the insurance and they confirmed denial due to a billing procedure issue. Come to find out, the claim being filed was almost 3 years old. So, I called Billing back and she says that it's still my responsibility and hung up. I'm like WTH?!?

    Nothing but trouble with their billing department. Make payments through my bank, but it takes over a month for them to process the payment and clear it. Strange, when I call and complain, the payment finally shows up.

    I have been a patient of Modern Periodontics for over 15 years. Dr. Storch and his staff are excellent. From the time you enter the building, you're treated with great care. The atmosphere is great. The bathrooms are clean, which is a plus. They care about your comfort during procedures. I will advise anyone that is looking for great dental care to check out Modern Periodontics.

    I cannot recommend Modern Periodontics enough! A little over a year ago, I was faced with the terrifying prospect of having to get extensive work done on my teeth and gums. During my admittedly jittery first visit with Dr. Storch, I was reassuried by his gentle kindness, that he genuinely understood my concerns, that he would take every precaution to assuage my fear. Since then, he, and his amazing staff, have earned my complete devotion and respect. My mouth is healthier than it's probably ever been; I am grateful beyond words. Thank you, Dr. Storch, and everyone at the University Boulevard location!
