A Dentist has Exposed 7,000 Patients to Several Diseases 


Dr. Wayne Harrington an oral surgeon in Tulsa, OKlahoma, has done the unthinkable "re-used instruments on his patients." He treated high risked patients that were known to have HIV, Hepatitis C and B. The unfortunate news is he also treated patients that didn't have any of the above diseases. Not only did Dr. Harrington re-use syringes, but his instruments were rusted from the bleach he used to clean them. Instruments need to be cleaned in sterilant/disinfectant and then in an Autoclave. 

Do make sure your dentist is properly sterilizing the instruments that will be used during your visit. They should come out of a Autoclave sleeve and should be sealed and opened in front of you.
