DENTAL CHAIR CLEANING
I will now demonstrate how to clean and disinfect a dental chair unit after the patient treatment is finished.
We always begin at the top, starting with the lamp.
All the surfaces one has been in contact with, including handles and light switch.
We move now over to the handles.
Use a really moist wipe.
- So you're cleaning under the handpieces? - Yes.
- And then you clean over them as well? - That's right.
Clean each piece one by one.
And now the bracket table.
It's important to remember to clean under the table, because of the handling during the treatment.
I dispose of the wipe and take a new one.
One wipe for the arm chairs.
I dispose of the wipe again and remove my gloves.
- You took a new wipe after cleaning the glass spittoon? - Yes. And also changed my gloves after cleaning there.
- And now you're cleaning under it.
- So you've now disinfected all surfaces on the unit? - Yes.
- What will you do if there are any blood stains?
If there are visible spots, they should be removed with a wet wipe.
Then put Perasafe (surface disinfectant) on some wipes,
and then clean over the surfaces that had visible blood spots.
Let it sit for ten minutes, before rubbing again with a clean and wet wipe.
If there is a lot of blood spillage on the unit, use only Perasafe following the same routine as when disinfecting.
There's no need to also disinfect.
Let it sit for ten minutes before you go over with a wet wipe (water).
