Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a dental office be cleaned?

Dental offices are typically cleaned daily after hours, with operatory surfaces disinfected between every patient by clinical staff during the day. Restrooms and high-touch reception areas are sanitized on every visit.

What disinfectants do dental offices use?

Dental practices use EPA List N registered, hospital-grade disinfectants on operatory surfaces with the required contact time, and color-coded microfiber to prevent cross-contamination between clinical and common areas.

Do cleaning companies disinfect dental operatories?

Between-patient operatory disinfection is usually handled by trained clinical staff. Cleaning contractors typically perform daily deep cleaning, floor care, restroom sanitation, and common-area disinfection after hours.
