COVID-19 Protocols
Have a look at the changes we implemented in our office to help protect our patients and staff:
|
|
Virtual Waiting Room
Please give us a call when you arrive and remain in your
vehicle until we assess your temperature. If you have a
temperature at or above 100.4° F, we will reschedule your
appointment.
|
|
|
Pre-Screening of Every Patient
We will ask you some pre-screening questions when we
confirm your appointment and again when you arrive at the
office. You will have to fill out and submit the
pre-screening form the day before your appointment.
|
|
|
Expanded Patient Appointments
We will manage the appointments in a way that we can allow
social distancing between patients. This means we will be
offering fewer options to schedule your visit.
|
|
|
Hospital-Grade Hand Sanitizing Station
When you enter the office, we will ask you to use a hand
sanitizer, and also, you can find some in each operatory
room and other places in the office which you can use
according to the necessity.
|
|
|
Oral Anti-Microbial Rinse
Before making you sit on the dental chair, you will have to
use an oral pre-rinse for about 30 seconds.
|
|
|
Daily Health Check-Up For Our Team
We will keep in check our staff's temperature each morning
and ask the same screening questions as we ask our
patients.
|
|
|
N95 & ASTM Level 3 Masks
Every one of us in the team will keep our lovely smiles
protected behind double-masking at all times.
|
|
|
Use Face Shields
It is just not enough with two masks, so we will protect
you and ourselves through the use of FDA Approved PET face
shields.
|
|
|
Disposable, Protective Coats & Hats
When appropriate, our team will also utilize another layer
of protection. This includes hair cover and double gloves,
which can help in minimizing the spread or absorption of
airborne particles.
|
|
|
HEPA Air Filtration
We have equipped each of our operatory rooms with a High
level 4 stage HEPA filter, UV-C light air purifiers, which
can kill bacteria, mold, and viruses and make the air
clean.
|
|
|
Advanced Aerosol Reduction Tools
We have also utilized special equipment like Rubberdam,
Isolite, and HVE system, which can limit aerosols.
|
|
|
Sterilizing Instruments
This is something we have done ever since we started our
practice. You can trust us and need not worry about
anything.
|
|
|
Cleaning After Every Appointment
In each operatory, after every patient, we thoroughly wipe,
sanitize, and disinfect all instruments, equipment, and
surfaces to make everything super clean.
|
|
|
Deep Cleaning Every Evening
Even though we carry out cleaning and sanitizing during the
day, we do a deep cleaning with a thorough top-to-bottom
scrub down in the evening.
|
|
|
Advanced Staff Training
We have trained our team members regarding additional
awareness and prevention programs to enhance their knowledge
and keep them more prepared.
|
|
|
No Magazines or Toys
Our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, coffee, or
toys, as it is quite hard to clean and disinfect these
items.
|
We appreciate you for staying strong during all such tough times. We look forward to seeing you again and happily answer any questions you may have in your mind regarding the steps we have taken to make your visit a safe and secure one.
