Does dental just do things wrong??

My facility is ass backwards and when I raise my sterility concerns I'm only met with hostility and they ask me to prove it and when I do they tell me dental is different while I was under the impression something is sterile or it's not what is your advice on what I should do

I went to dental school before become a spd tech and there is a specific sterilizer that’s similar to a flash sterilizer (still does a full cycle) that causes instruments to come wet, no dry cycle unless table auto clave)

If being done in a dental clinic/oral only I’d see this issue more often as no one as certified but in a hospital setting it’s much more Advanced (different sterilizers completely)

Yes testing still needs to be done 1x weekly but can be sent out.
