2. Urge patients to see a doctor

For a long time, the Committee of traditional dental clinics has not paid attention to sterilization and disinfection, leaving loopholes that can not be ignored in this regard. One of the main reasons why many patients are unwilling to go to the dental clinic is to worry about the pollution and disinfection of oral instruments. This not only requires the dental clinic to seriously disinfect the instruments, but also requires the dental clinic to make necessary publicity to the patients. All oral instruments used by the patients should be strictly disinfected and they should learn how to disinfect them.

Preventing cross infection in dental clinics is not only a labor health problem for dentists and other employees.
