Infection Prevention

At Short & Vlosich Family Dental, ensuring the safety of our patients and staff is our top priority. We believe in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and infection prevention to create a safe environment for everyone who walks through our doors. That's why we've partnered with MediClean & Shield (MCS) to implement state-of-the-art disinfection practices using PermaSafe™️, an EPA-approved hospital-grade disinfectant.

PermaSafe™️ - An EPA Approved Hospital-Grade Disinfectant

PermaSafe™️ is a revolutionary disinfection and surface treatment application that offers unparalleled protection against harmful microbes. It is designed to eliminate up to 99.999% of bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold, mildew, and other pathogens that can pose a risk to health. What sets PermaSafe™️ apart is its long-lasting effectiveness, providing continuous antimicrobial control for up to three months without the need for repeated applications of toxic chemicals.

The PermaSafe™️ system works by forming a durable, invisible barrier on surfaces, creating an inhospitable environment for microbes to thrive. This barrier remains active even after routine cleaning, ensuring that our dental office remains protected between treatments. PermaSafe™️ is odor-free, skin-safe, non-toxic, non-flammable, and environmentally friendly, making it an ideal solution for maintaining a safe and healthy environment for our patients and staff.
MCS, our trusted partner in infection control, employs a proprietary six-step process to ensure the effectiveness of PermaSafe™️ in our dental office. This process includes thorough cleaning and disinfection of all surfaces, followed by the application of PermaSafe™️ to create a protective shield. Additionally, rapid microbial and ATP testing is conducted to confirm the efficacy of our infection control measures, providing us with peace of mind that our office environment remains safe and sanitary.

In addition to using PermaSafe™️, we adhere to strict infection control guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). These guidelines include practices such as hand hygiene, personal protective equipment (PPE) use, surface disinfection, and dental unit waterline maintenance to ensure comprehensive infection prevention in our dental office.

Our commitment to infection control extends beyond the current pandemic, as we understand the importance of maintaining a clean and safe environment for our patients and staff at all times. By utilizing PermaSafe™️ and following rigorous infection control protocols, we strive to provide our patients with peace of mind, knowing that their health and safety are our top priorities.

In conclusion, PermaSafe™️ is an essential tool in our efforts to maintain infection control at Short & Vlosich Family Dental. With its long-lasting effectiveness and eco-friendly properties, PermaSafe™️ helps us create a safe and healthy environment for everyone who entrusts us with their dental care needs.
