Our office has always been among the safest places to be in terms of cleanliness and sensitization. We are continuing to be diligent with strict screening measures and stringent infection control prevention protocols while providing our patients and staff members ease of mind during dental visits and procedures. In addition, our treatment rooms are now equipped with Medify, a medical grade air purification system that removes even the tiniest microorganisms, including those the size of COVID-19.
Our sensitization, infection control protocols and social distancing measures include the following:
- Asking patients to wait in their vehicle until they are ready to be seen to avoid waiting areas
- Requiring anyone entering the offices to wear a facemask and ensuring they are a minimum of 6 ft. apart when not receiving dental treatment
- Taking temperatures and instructing patients to rinse with peroxide prior to treatments to kill viruses and bacteria
- Requiring doctors and medical staff to wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times
- Thoroughly and regularly cleaning all surfaces in offices that can be exposed to infection between patients
- Requiring symptomatic patients to reschedule appointments to later dates
- We are limiting the use of aerosol generating instruments whenever possible
