What We Are Doing to Protect you and our Employees from COVID-19, the Coronavirus
1) Our office has always practiced what is known in the medical field as Universal Precautions. These precautions help protect you and us against viruses such as COVID-19, HIV, and Hepatitis B. We practice these precautions on a daily basis and will continue to do so for your protection
2) In order to limit the number of items patients are touching, we are doing a number of things including but not limited to: removing the sign in log and most clipboards from the reception area.
3) We have closed our playhouse for the current time period and look forward to opening it again once the COVID-19 situation is behind us.
4) Our receptionists are cleaning surfaces in the waiting room and elevator every 2 hours with Germicidal Disposable Wipes. These surfaces also include doorknobs and elevator buttons. The reception desk is cleaned after every patient with Germicidal Disposable Wipes.
5) As always, our dental hygienists and dental assistants clean all surfaces including but not limited to the dental chair, dental delivery system, bracket tables and formica tops after every patient. Disposable (single-use) items are used whenever and wherever possible. Blue Barrier Covers are placed on patient light handles and other equipment for the protection of our patients and staff.
If you have any questions regarding what we are doing to protect you please ask one of our doctors.
