Dental hygiene is crucial for maintaining oral health, and dentists play a vital role in ensuring the cleanliness of dental tools to prevent the transmission of infections and diseases.
Dentists meticulously clean their tools using a multi-step process that includes sterilization and disinfection. Sterilization eliminates all microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and spores, while disinfection reduces the number of microorganisms to a level that is not harmful. This process ensures that dental tools are free from contaminants that could compromise patient safety.
