Dental Care

For many people, visiting the dentist is already nerve-wracking—but in recent years, a new fear has emerged: infection panic. In Ghana and across the globe, patients are more aware than ever about hygiene standards, especially in clinical settings. And rightly so—dental clinics deal with bodily fluids, sharp tools, and close contact. Without strict infection control, the risk of cross-contamination rises.

At German Ozone Medical Centre (GOMC) in Accra, we understand these concerns and go the extra mile to ensure our clinic is not only safe but exceptionally sterile.

What Is Infection Panic in Dentistry?

Infection panic refers to the anxiety or fear patients experience about contracting infections during medical or dental procedures. In dental clinics, this often relates to:

  • Reuse of tools

  • Surface contamination

  • Airborne bacteria or viruses

  • Inadequate hygiene protocols

In Ghana, where dental awareness is growing, more patients are asking the important question: “How clean is this clinic?”

Why Disinfection in Dental Clinics Is Critical

Dental treatments involve saliva, blood, and direct contact with mucous membranes. Without proper disinfection, the transmission of diseases like Hepatitis B, HIV, and even the flu becomes possible.

High standards of sterilization are not just a luxury—they are a necessity.

At GOMC, we follow and exceed global dental disinfection protocols, ensuring that:

  • Instruments are fully sterilised after each use
  • High-contact surfaces are disinfected between patients
  • Our clinical team is trained in infection control best practices

Going Beyond the Basics: Ozone Disinfection

While most clinics rely solely on alcohol-based sanitisers and autoclaves, German Ozone Medical Centre has introduced an additional, powerful layer of protection—medical-grade ozone for disinfection.

Why ozone?

  • Kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi
  • Leaves no toxic residue
  • Penetrates surfaces and tools that may be hard to clean traditionally
  • Completely safe for patients and the environment

This means every tool, chair, and surface you touch has been treated with the safest and most effective technology available.

How GOMC Reduces Infection Risks

Here’s what makes our clinic stand out when it comes to patient safety:

  • Ozone-treated treatment rooms after every session
  • Sterile dental instruments handled using medical-grade gloves
  • Filtered, ozone-infused air in procedure rooms
  • Trained staff following a strict sterilisation checklist

Your Health Is Non-Negotiable

You shouldn’t have to choose between your oral health and your peace of mind. At German Ozone Medical Centre, you get both. Whether it’s a routine cleaning or a complex dental implant, you can rest assured that you’re in an environment where infection control is treated with the utmost seriousness.
