Infection Control

Many people experience undue anxiety about visiting the dentist. In recent years, the remote possibility of being exposed to AIDS or other infections in the dental office has heightened that anxiety. At the office of Dr. Charles Clausen, we take a host of precautions throughout the day to protect our patients.

You may not be aware that sterilization and other infection control precautions take place, because many of these procedures occur out of your view. You should know about these measures, and we find that talking with us about your concerns is extremely important, and easy to do. We won't let technical language get in the way of allaying your fears, anxieties, or concerns. Spending a few minutes talking about infection control procedures will not only boost your confidence in our ability to serve you, it also will help you become a smart dental consumer and form a successful relationship with us.
