How to care for dental mirrors

Ok, so I can’t take credit for the title or ANY of the following post, as it was copied verbatim from a post on a professional dental forum.  Fortunately my friend doesn’t mind me copying and pasting as long as I paste his name really big right here.  LOL

With no further ado…….here is how to take care of those really expensive dental mirrors:

========================================================================
OK-in the never ending battle, we bought some new mirrors this week and have come up with the following office policy:

The first person to scratch the new mirrors:
1-dies
2-buys the office Starbucks for a week…

I take alot of pics in the office and scratches drive me crazy-especially when they are projected or published…so I came up with this idea:

Step 1:  Buy new mirrors AND a box of microfiber photo cloths…I bought the cloths from Uline.com for about 35 bucks…

Unfold said cloths and tuck in mirros…

Fold the top to the bottom then the sides over the sides…


Bag ’em and run ’em through the sterilizer…

Mirrors stay safe, clean, sterilized, always have a cloth..keep em clean, keep the drops off in the autoclave…open the bag and the mirros stay on the cloth at all times.  The cloths can be washed as well.
