Patient Safety

Revised August 8, 2024

At Touro Dental Health patient safety is our top priority.

We have gone beyond cleanliness and safety standards to incorporate the most rigorous infection prevention practices and protocols at Touro Dental Health. Our infection control regimens are meticulously implemented, and carefully monitored by an Infection Control Officer who ensures all our facilities meet or exceed state and federal guidelines. Our goal is to create a treatment environment that is as safe as possible for both patient and doctor.

Personal Protective Equipment

Proper PPE including masks, gowns, and gloves are a requirement for our students, faculty, and clinical staff working at Touro Dental Health.

Cleaning Practices

We take extra precaution when it comes to cleaning our clinical facilities, waiting rooms, elevators, restrooms, and other public spaces. We focus on all high-touch areas and clean multiple times a day to make sure every area is continuously disinfected.

Our dental operatories are meticulously cleaned after each patient appointment following strict infection control guidelines. All dental instruments are cleaned, individually wrapped, sterilized, and have their sterility verified in our state-of-the-art instrument processing facility using professional grade sterilization techniques and certified staff.

Online Patient Registration & Bill Pay

To reduce the length of your appointment and effectively limit person-to person contact, new patients are asked to complete all registration forms online in advance.  Patients are also requested to pay their balances prior to their appointment using our contactless online payment system.
