COVID-19 Update

As COVID-19 continues to be a risk, our office continues to make your visit as safe as possible for you and your family. We will be spacing out appointments and limiting the number of people in our office at one time.  Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, as a dental health provider, we are always very thorough in our infection control standards. All team members are trained and know the importance of thorough sterilization and disinfection of treatment rooms and instruments between each patient. Your safety remains our top priority. We have implemented additional safety and sanitization measures in accordance with O.S.H.A. and CDC guidelines to protect you and our team:

1. Preemptive screenings – Patients will be asked to complete additional health history information pertaining to your risk of exposure to COVID-19.
2. Spacing of daily appointments – To minimize the number of people at one time in the office, patients will be scheduled accordingly.  This allows us more time to make sure we complete specific screening steps prior to entering, in accordance with CDC, state and O.S.H.A. regulations.
3. Continued social distancing practices – Once you check in for your appointment, you can wait in the waiting room with 6 feet distant from other non-family members or choose to wait in your car and we will call to let you know the team is ready to begin your appointment. Companions of patients will be asked to wait outside of the office during a patient’s appointment. One parent or guardian will be allowed to accompany a minor patient.
4. Adherence  to standard sterile healthcare environment protocols including hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (e.g. gloves, masks, face shields, eyewear), respiratory hygiene, sharps safety, safe injection practices (when applicable), sterile instruments and devices, and clean and disinfected environmental surfaces and common areas. Though facemask are no longer required, they are highly recommended.

We want you to feel confident and comfortable visiting our office for your dental appointments. Maintaining your oral health is important to your overall health. 

We look forward to seeing you soon!
