                       Oklahoma Dentist

 The quote states "One bad apple spoils the bunch". And in this case, the "alleged" dentist is one of those bad apples. Another way of stating it is we all expect professionals to do what they should do, but there is the 1% out there who doesn’t. Whether it’s cutting costs or ignoring things because they don’t care, there is the 1% who are not professional. For those of you who are not familiar with the case of a Oklahoma dentist who put thousands of his patients at risk for contracting hepatitis B and C as well as HIV.

Comment: When I first heard this story I said to myself there is probably a lot more going on in this office and unfortunately I was correct.

 This really makes me furious and I want you all to know that Dr. Slate and Pure Dentistry go above and beyond the standards of care implemented by the American Dental Association and California State Dental Board.

 The ADA also issued a press release, which can be found at www.ada.org/8454.aspx.

 The ADA has long recommended that all practicing dentists, dental team members and dental laboratories use standard precautions as described in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Infection Control in Dental Health Care Settings guidelines. Studies show that following proper infection control procedures greatly reduces risk to patients to the point of an extremely remote possibility.


We welcome all questions and concerns at anytime.

Thanks again,

Darce A. Slate, DDS
