Dear patients,
Our staff has been trained on all new ADA and CDC protocols and guidelines to ensure the safety of both patients and staff. The following precautions have been implemented:
· COVID-19 screen and consent form signing on arrival;
· Daily symptom check for employees;
· Personal Protective Equipment – masks, gowns, gloves, eye protection etc.;
· Physical distancing of patients in the waiting room and check-out areas (in the rare case you see another patient in the practice);
· Encourage the use of hand sanitizer;
· Installation of new air filtration units that use medical grade H13 true HAPPA filters in each operatory;
· Aerosol minimization using a high-speed suction system;
· Using rubber (dental) dam for all procedures;
· Rinse with hydrogen peroxide for 1 minute prior to dental procedure;
· Frequent and thorough disinfection of all surfaces and high touch areas;
· Strict adherence to our infection control policies regarding cleaning of operatories after every patient;
· Removal of all items that could be touched by multiple people in the waiting area;
· All registration paperwork must be filled out on-line prior to your appointment;
· We will not be able to accommodate walk-ins and will ask that you call us first.
When you arrive for your appointment you can walk in. Please wear a mask or other type of face covering upon entering the office. If you don’t have a mask we will provide one to you on arrival.
Thank you for your understanding while we navigate through these difficult times. We hope everyone remains safe and healthy.
