To All Current & Future Patients,

Dr. Ferguson and his team would like you to be aware of the news coverage involving the investigation of an Oklahoma oral surgeon and now a dentist in Tucson for poor infection control practices.  We are committed to an expert level of infection control practices and patient protection.  In our office we utilize the best possible protective equipment and sterilization techniques in order to ensure the safety of our patients and our dental team.  Please be assured that your safety and quality of care is our number one concern.  You can rest easy as you enter our practice.

Our steam autoclaves are tested weekly on site for accuracy and also sent weekly to a biological testing facility for spore testing, again ensuring that our instruments and equipment are sterilized effectively.  The water for our dental units is always distilled water and the lines are cleaned and maintained weekly: as well as sending water samples to a biological monitoring facility weekly.


Dr. Ferguson and his team of dental professionals are routinely attending continuing education for OSHA and infection control seminars in order to maintain the most up to date infection control protocols.  Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions in regards to this extremely important subject. We would love to speak with you.

Thank you,

Alan Ferguson, D.D.S., P.L.C.
