For each individual patient, we use a wide range of disposable items, including gloves, masks, needles, paper drapes and tray covers, as well as plastic and foil barriers to protect against cross-contamination (spread of germs). Every patient is assured of a completely new and sterile set of these items. Your health, safety, and comfort are our ultimate concern.<\/p>\n [ back to top<\/a> ]<\/p>\n Patients at the Kailua-Kona dentistry practice of Dr. Carter S.
