When you are thinking about dental treatment in another country, price is rarely the first worry. Hygiene is. It is a fair question, and you should ask it at any clinic, here or at home.
What we use
At K9 Dental Hospital, reusable instruments are cleaned, sealed in sterilisation pouches and run through a Class-B autoclave at 134°C. Class-B machines draw air out of the chamber before steam goes in, so steam reaches inside hollow and wrapped instruments, not just the outside.
What you will see on the day
Instruments opened from sealed pouches in front of you.
Single-use items such as bibs, gloves and suction tips changed for every patient.
Treatment rooms wiped down and reset between appointments.
Questions worth asking any clinic abroad
What type of autoclave do you use, and at what temperature?
Are instruments wrapped before sterilisation?
Can I see the sterilisation area?
If a clinic is vague about any of these, keep looking.
