Gottfried Mann & Scott are committed to the health and safety of our patients. We follow the highest standards of hygiene and sterilization in our office, and with the Surgically Clean Air Purifier serving our exam rooms and the Jade Air Purifier in our waiting area, we are going beyond sterilizing the surfaces and instruments that we use and actually cleaning the air that we breathe!
What Is Really in the Air We Breathe?
The pollutants in the air we breathe can cause anything from allergy symptoms to serious health complications. What is in the air that causes these?
Some less harmful, but still concerning, impurities are visible to the naked eye and make up 10% of the pollutants in the air, including:
- Dust and Dirt
- Skin Cells
- Allergens
Minuscule organisms can be more serious pollutants making up the remaining 90% of air impurities, including, but not limited to:
- Mold
- Bacteria
- Fungus
- Viruses
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
The dangers of mold, bacteria, fungus, and viruses are well-known, but this may be the first time you are hearing about VOCs. These are harmful, man-made chemical compounds that can be found in perfumes and air fresheners. All of these air impurities can make breathing difficult and cause serious, sometimes chronic, illness.
Surgically Clean Air’s medical grade purifiers use multi-stage air purifying technologies that work together to clean, purify and re-energize the indoor air. The six (6) stage filtration system captures dust particles, pollen, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), gases, mold, allergens, viruses, odors (like formaldehyde and smoke), bio-aerosols, and many other pollutants that are found in inside work spaces.
The negative ion generator makes indoor feel more pure, clean and energized to help combat fatigue.
We are working hard every day to insure that your next trip to the dentist is as safe and enjoyable as it can possibly be.
