How Dental Waste Disposal Services Can Help Your Surgery Run More Effectively
When it comes to building trust with patients and ensuring a safe working environment, as a dentist or hygienist you'll understand the importance of correct hygiene practices. From providing a warm, welcoming and clean office to efficient disposal of dental waste, it's all part of running a reliable and safe surgery.
Dental care services in England are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Dentists must maintain CQC compliance at all times to ensure correct hygiene practices and to be prepared in the event of an inspection. Not only is it crucial to ensure high levels of cleanliness, but also to ensure patient retention, prevent the spread of infection and pass potential spot checks.
We know how important it is to be able to return your patient rooms to safe sanitary standards quickly between appointments to keep things running smoothly and ensure visits stay on time. That's why we offer a wide range of managed dental services that can help to reduce the turnaround time, such as environmentally-friendly clinical disposal of dental amalgam, sharps disposal, and much more.
The easy and safe disposal of tools is imperative when it comes to operating an efficient dentist surgery, as it prevents infection and the spread of bloodborne diseases whilst keeping staff safe. At Janitorial direct, we offer fully managed services to take the hassle out of this process and to give you more time to do what you do best - make sure patients leave with a smile.
