What hospital should I go to for a filling to avoid getting infected with hepatitis C and HIV?

Patient's question:

After lunch, I felt a bit uncomfortable with my teeth. I tapped my teeth together, and unexpectedly, two pieces of my right chewing teeth fell out. Which hospital should I go to to get my teeth filled without getting infected with hepatitis C or AIDS?

Doctor's answer:

In your current situation, since you have already lost two teeth, you need to get them filled. It is very good that you have this sense of safety, as indeed, unsterilized dental clinics can transmit infectious diseases such as hepatitis B and AIDS. For treating teeth, you must go to a dental department in a hospital with a grade of 2A or higher for treatment. There, the sterilization is extremely strict, and hospitals all have infectious disease departments with strict control over departmental sterilization. From the instruments to the medical staff to the air in the department, everything is sterilization-compliant.
If you are troubled by hepatitis C, we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatment, and avoid avoiding medical visits. If hepatitis C does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
