About prescribing by generic name
This clinic encourages the use of generic medicines.
To make it easier to secure the medicine you need even if a particular drug is in short supply, for medicines that have a generic equivalent we may prescribe by generic name (the name of the active ingredient) rather than by brand name. We’ll explain this to you before prescribing.
Generic medicines are recognized as having the same efficacy and safety as the original brand-name medicine, and cost less. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Infection control
This clinic carries out thorough infection-control measures to prevent in-clinic infection.
Sterilizing instruments
All treatment instruments are sterilized in an autoclave (high-pressure steam sterilizer) and replaced for every patient.
Disposable products
Gloves, bibs, cups, and similar items are all disposable, and a fresh one is used for every patient.
Disinfecting the treatment chair
We clean the treatment chair and control panel with a dedicated disinfectant after every patient.
Use of an extraoral vacuum suction system
This strongly suctions the dust and droplets that scatter during treatment, keeping the air in the treatment room clean.
Staff hygiene
Our staff maintain thorough hygiene, including disinfecting their hands and wearing masks.
We will continue working on medical safety and infection-control measures so patients can keep receiving treatment without worry.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask a member of staff.
