This just looks like a hygiene operatory. In my operatory, there are cabinets and drawers behind the dental chair, where I keep my vitals machine and monitoring leads, IV bags, IV tubing, catheter start kits, airway supplies, drugs, ventilator circuits, and the ventilator and IV pumps themselves are always plugged in.

I’m so jealous watching this because I used to have such a nice and convenient set up in my room until a couple years ago, but none of this would pass if public health were to audit here in Canada

@Redh3adElizabeth 3 жыл бұрын

I’m curious why this wouldn’t pass, what would they take issue with?

@lexichanel1 3 жыл бұрын

@@Redh3adElizabeth Basically the only thing we can have stored in our ops are disposables (gloves, headrest covers, masks, prophy cups, etc.), and those things have to be kept in a sealed bin inside the drawers/cupboards, so if we were to open a cupboard the aerosols wouldn’t contaminate everything. We can’t keep things like probes or X-ray holders in there (and those holders would have to be individually wrapped and sterilized)

so.... when you assemble your room trays- are you having to go through 50 drawers to get all the pieces you need? or is there a spot where you have all pieces in a small area for a variety of tray types?

Patient mirror is my go-to, I bought a little 3M sticky hook so that I can hang it up in the room where it’s most convenient and I don’t have to worry about going into drawers w dirty gloves.

I don't know why I'm watching this but it's funny... I'm not in the field of Medicine at all but I'm way to obsessed with clean teeth, I hate cavity, gum diseases or bad breath at all, thank God I have amazing dentist who takes care of everything or give me some tips & tricks that he has in the pocket 😉 Every single day 2/day 3 min brushing, 2/day mouth rinsing w mouthwash Anticavity & Antiseptic than after a long day of eat food, drinking all of those juices I do floss 1/day at night... never asked my dentist if this is a 100% correct that I do to keep my teeth clean... #TeethTalkGirl You have a question from Electrical Engineer am I missing something or is it right/wrong way??? Also my dentist told me that I have a perfect hygiene of my teeth 😉😁

@markcollins6578 3 жыл бұрын

nice and smart but a problem - 1 bin and through the worktop. There should always be 2 bins - 1 for normal waste and 1 for clinical as the clinical waste has to be disposed of by a licensed disposer. If placing something into the bin through the worktop it could hit the rim or side and spread along the worktop hence the bin should be isolated - wipe down is not always 100% effective. Also not seen any certificates yet - maybe different where she is but in England the dentists like to remind their patients of their qualifications

@TeethTalk 3 жыл бұрын

we have two bins :) we have to open the cabinet to get to the hazardous waste. also - I removed our licenses from the walls for this video so viewers won't see our personal information. hope this helps! stay well :)

Great question! I have an updated "bad breath prevention" video coming up soon - where I talk about how using a tongue scraper is usually the best option (such as "Orabrush") but if you do not have a tongue scraper - a toothbrush is better than nothing! Hope this helps!
