Dental offices
Operatories cleaned around your chairs and instruments
For general, pediatric and specialty dental practices. We clean the room, and we never touch what your assistants set up.
An operatory card for each room: where the chair, light and unit arm must stay
Cleaned and disinfected around trays, handpieces and the autoclave
A signed night log to your office manager by morning

How a night goes
From the text that the crew is in to the log in the morning
- 01Setup
Step 1: Card first, then keys
Kelechi Nwankwo sets up each operatory card at the walkthrough: where the chair, the light and the unit arm sit when we arrive.
- 02After your last patient
Step 2: The crew texts that it is in
The lead texts your office manager on arrival and checks the alarm.
- 03Protocol
Step 3: Operatories one at a time
Each room goes through the same six steps, and the unit and light go back to the marked position.
- 04Close
Step 4: Reception, restrooms, floors and the log
The crew finishes the public areas, sets the alarm and sends the log, with anything flagged on top.
Before and not at all
What to do before we arrive, and what we do not do
Before we arrive
What your staff set up so the night goes to plan.
Close and seal sharps containers and put instruments in the instrument-processing area
Lock cabinets that hold records, medication or supplies
Mark any floor area or equipment to skip
Leave the unit and chair in the position you want them in
What we do not do
Clinical work stays with your clinical staff.
Handle, open or carry out sharps or regulated medical waste
Reprocess instruments or touch the autoclave
Open charts, drawers, cabinets or screens
Clean up blood or body-fluid spills beyond marking the spot and calling your designated person
Fog, spray or "treat" the air in a room
Questions
Two or three things people ask
Do you disinfect the dental unit and chair?
Only the surfaces your card names, with a product your practice already uses or one of the classes on the protocol page. We never touch instruments, handpieces or trays.
What about the instrument-processing room?
We clean the floor and the counters outside the marked work area. We do not touch instruments, cassettes or the autoclave.
Do we have to move the chairs?
No. We clean around them and leave them as you set them.
