We know that many people today are concerned about the risk of contracting an infectious disease such as AIDS, hepatitis, or herpes through dental treatment. The simple fact is, because we follow the infection control guidelines of the American Dental Association, the chance of any infection is extremely remote. For your protection, we maintain the most up-to-date methods of sterilization and infection control.

Aranda's Dental Office encourages you to call with questions you may have concerning dental problems.
