Dental compliance FAQ for Ontario clinics.

A Prime DMS IPAC audit includes a full in-clinic inspection, sterilization workflow review, documentation assessment, risk identification, corrective recommendations, and a compliance checklist aligned with Public Health Ontario and RCDSO standards.

Most clinics prepare by closing gaps in their IPAC manual, updating sterilization and biological monitoring logs, confirming staff training records are current, and running a mock walkthrough one week before. Prime DMS provides inspection-prep audits and mock walkthroughs.

Sterilization workflow (dirty-to-clean directional flow), biological (spore) monitoring records, hand-hygiene observation, PPE use, surface disinfection between patients, dental waterline maintenance, and documentation that staff can produce within a minute.

Yes. Every Ontario dental clinic must have a designated IPAC officer responsible for developing, maintaining, and overseeing the infection prevention and control program. Prime DMS trains your existing team member into the role - or onboards a new hire - with formal IPAC certification.

At minimum once a year, and any time staff, equipment, procedures, regulations, or prior inspection findings change. Most clinics benefit from annual IPAC reviews plus quarterly documentation updates.

It's a written program tailored to your clinic's actual layout, equipment, staff roles, and workflows - not a generic template. Inspectors expect documentation that reflects your real operations; generic manuals often fail inspection.

Associate Dentists, Registered Dental Hygienists (RDH), Dental Assistants (Level I & II), Dental Administrators, Receptionists, Office Managers, Treatment Coordinators, and IPAC Officers - across the GTA and Ontario-wide.

Most Ontario clinics see qualified candidates within one to three weeks. Hygienist roles in competitive GTA markets can take a bit longer given current supply constraints.

Every candidate has RCDSO or CDHO licensing verified, IPAC and CPR/BLS training confirmed, employment history reviewed, a pre-screening interview conducted, and professional references checked before you see a single resume.

Yes. We build role-specific employment contracts, staff handbooks, structured 30-60-90 day onboarding plans, performance review frameworks, and retention strategies aligned with Ministry of Labour and AODA requirements.

Prime DMS is led by Reem Alayan, an Ontario IPAC-certified consultant. We evaluate IPAC readiness, RCDSO/CDHO compliance, clinical skill, and cultural fit - not just credentials. Every match is reviewed by a clinical lead.
