CALGARY (660 NEWS) – Alberta Health Services (AHS) has confirmed two Calgary dental offices had sterilization practices that didn’t meet provincial standards.

AHS is encouraging anyone who received dental services at the following locations to visit their family physician to be tested for hepatitis B and C.

Canavina Dental Hygiene Clinic:

311 Taravista St. N.E. from Aug. 1, 2009, to April 30, 2018

7196 California Blvd N.E. from May 1, 2018, to Feb. 15, 2019

Radisson Dental Centre:

107 – 575 28 St. S.E. from April 28, 2012 to May 13, 2019

The Canavina Clinic, which was a home-based practice, is no longer in operation while the Radisson Centre has corrected its sterilization procedures and there is no longer any increased risk.

“The Alberta Dental Association and College (ADAC) has very robust standards of practice regarding Infection, Prevention and Control,” said Dr. Randall Croutze, CEO, Alberta Dental Association and College.

“Although the risk of infection is very low, the ADAC supports AHS’ recommendation for testing as a precaution.”

So far no confirmed cases of illness have been reported to AHS.
