The Sterling Board of Health; its official page is https://www.sterling-ma.gov/256/Board-of-Health. Clinics, hospitals and long-term care facilities are licensed and surveyed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, while the local board of health handles local environmental-health matters under the State Sanitary Code and local regulations. Our cleaning records are kept so they serve both.

No. Surface barriers on clinical contact surfaces are changed between patients by the clinical team, and the surface underneath is checked for soiling when the barrier comes off. That is a between-patient task in an occupied operatory, described in the CDC Summary of Infection Prevention Practices in Dental Settings (2016) under environmental infection prevention and control. Our crews arrive when the operatories are empty. What we can do is confirm barriers are in place at the start of the day and clean and disinfect the surfaces beneath them on the end-of-day pass.

Yes. A low-level disinfectant is not adequate where blood contamination is visible. CDC best practice for dental clinical contact surfaces calls for an EPA-registered intermediate-level disinfectant with a tuberculocidal claim in that situation, and the organic soil must be cleaned off before the disinfectant is applied, because organic matter inactivates many products. Our crews carry both levels and are trained on when to escalate. If the blood is fresh and the operatory is in use, it is your staff's job rather than ours, because it should not wait for our visit.

No, and be cautious with any cleaning contractor who says yes. Dental treatment water must be maintained at 500 CFU/mL or fewer, with treatment and monitoring performed on the manufacturer's schedule, per the CDC Summary of Infection Prevention Practices in Dental Settings (2016) section on dental unit water quality. Independent water bottles alone do not achieve that. Waterline treatment is a clinical protocol tied to the specific unit and the specific product, with its own testing records, and it belongs to your team. We clean the exterior of the unit and the surrounding area.
