Our Commitment
Dr. Schwitz and our staff are committed to excellence in providing optimal care by protecting you during your visits to our office from any kind of infectious disease.
With health as our primary concern, we routinely use heat sterilization on all instruments. We also use disposable products whenever possible. Between each patient, all treatment surfaces are disinfected with the most effective and safest products available. All staff members use new gloves for each patient. Dr. Schwitz and every staff member are trained in proper infection control procedures and have been vaccinated against the Hepatitis-B Virus and seasonal flus.
You will be pleased to know that Dr. Schwitz has chosen to use the most advanced orthodontic braces that are available today. Please ask us to show you our bracket system, from 3M Unitek, where each brace is sealed in its own tamper-evident package, with adhesive already applied, direct from the manufacturer. Each package is opened only seconds before the braces are placed in the patient's mouth, ensuring that every brace is clean and sterile. The braces used in our office are never recycled and are designed for single-use only.
Our goal is to provide you with the highest level of safety and comfort by meeting or exceeding national health standards. Our heat sterilization system is tested each month by an independent laboratory, to insure the highest level of safety and effectiveness.
Dr. Schwitz's treatment area is a special place, where parents are always welcome to observe or to speak with Dr. Schwitz. In order to preserve this special environment, and allow Dr. Schwitz and his staff to focus on the care of our patients, we ask your help and understanding when visiting the treatment area of the office:
- Please turn off your cellular phone before entering our treatment area.
- Please have only one adult accompany each patient into the treatment area, to observe or to speak with Dr. Schwitz.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in helping us to provide the best orthodontic treatment for you and your family.
