Advertisements and word-of-mouth can sometimes be misleading. The most reliable source of information regarding a product is its label, as it is regulated by Health Canada. Hear no evil. See no evil. Speak no evil. Why take the chance: Read your labels Does your disinfectant have a DIN (Drug Identification Number)? This confirms that the product is registered with Health Canada. Your label is full of critical information such as intended use and safety information. Look for product claims such as Tuberculocidal, Bactericidal, Fungicidal, and extended claims for Virucidal. Fungicidal: Quickly destroys Fungi on surfaces which could lead to difficult to treat oral and skin infections such as ringworm, thrush, tinea and others. Virucidal: Rapidly destroys hard to kill non-enveloped viruses (such as polio) and enveloped viruses (such as HIV, Influenza, Herpes, Hepatistis B and more).

Cleaning­­—An important part of processing Cleaning is a crucial early step in instrument reprocessing Instruments used intraorally can become coated with patient fluids and/or retain residual dental materials used during treatment If items are not cleaned before they are subjected to a sterilization cycle, organic matter and other visible debris can interfere with the sterilization process, shielding potentially diseasecausing microorganisms from the sterilizing agent In addition to posing an infectious hazard to the patients who will be served by these instruments and the workers who handle them, such treatment may damage patient care items "Instrument Processing Room."

Prevora | Antibacterial Tooth Coating Your Oral Health Biggest Opportunity for growth of your hygiene team! 40% of your patients age 40+ have or are experiencing root caries (reported by 10 family clinics in Canada after two weeks of risk assessment). Root caries prevention is the biggest new service for many dental practices and the preference by your older patients. Prevora is the only proven and Health Canada-approved prescription preventive treatment for root caries. This new coating is simple to apply, delivers chlorhexidine on a sustained release basis, won’t stain and is both safe and effective. 90% of Canadians said prevention was top OF mind, and 70% said they would pay or consider paying for Prevora regardless of insurance coverage. Prevora is what your older patients want from your dental services. In a national survey conducted by Ipsos Reid, this level of interest was confirmed by 10 family clinics. Importantly, fewer and fewer older patients have dental coverage so it is critical to meet their preferences and expectations for more preventive care. Introducing: No special equipment to apply Easy to learn Easy to communicate to your older patients A great recall pattern with excellent patient compliance Evidence-based preventive care (DIN 02046245) No staining or cosmetic effects A CDA procedure code (13601 and 13602) Ongoing webinars to educate your hygiene team One treatment box includes 6 treatments, or sufficient prevention for one year for one patient.

Different products only masked the problem and I found they left my hands feeling greasy, slippery and the smell, at times, is overwhelming. Once I started to use Healing Hands, the dry raised hard areas are now gone and sore hands are a thing of the past. My hands are now soft and feel great.
