<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nUltraviolet (UV)\nlight is a component of the electromagnetic spectrum that falls in the region\nbetween visible light and X-Rays. The UV spectrum is further divided into 3\nwavelength categories: UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. \nUV-A is useful for printing, curing, and lithography. UV-B is useful for tanning. UV-C is useful for DISINFECTING<\/strong> and STERILIZATION<\/strong>\nof objects, surfaces and the air that we breathe. Again\u2026UV-C is useful for disinfecting\nand sterilization!<\/em><\/strong> UV-C light\ncan effectively disrupt and kill surface and airborne viruses and bacteria such\nas the flu virus and COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n About\nUV-C<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n UV-C light is\ngermicidal \u2013 i.e., it deactivates the DNA of bacteria, virus and other\npathogens and thus destroys their ability to multiply and cause disease. This is not new technology but has been\nrelatively overlooked in the dental industry. \nFor decades, dental offices around the world have relied heavily on\nchemical surface disinfectants and high heat sterilization methods to keep our\noffices healthy and safe\u2026with amazing effectiveness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Advanced\nDental Concepts\u2019 Enhanced Safety and Wellness Protocol<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Advanced Dental\nConcepts is implementing an Enhanced Safety and Wellness Protocol to better\nserve our patients, our team and our communities in our Chesterton, Crown Point\nand Portage dental practice locations. \nAs part of this enhanced protocol, we are adding UV-C technology to all\nour dental practices. In addition to our\nstandard OSHA approved sanitation and sterilization processes, the installation\nof UV-C germicidal systems to our air systems and our operatories will enable\nus to effectively kill 99.9% of all viruses and bacteria in the air and on\nvirtually every surface in our practice. \nThis will drastically reduce risk of transmission of virulent and\ncontagious pathogens during this pandemic and well into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a time of uncertainty, our mission is to create a dental\noffice environment where our patients and our team know that every effort is\nmade to ensure their health and safety. \nIf you are in search of a ward winning, family friendly dental practice\nin Chesterton, Crown Point or Portage, we invite you to learn more about us at www.ADCSmiles.com<\/a>.
