COVID-19 Protocols
We hope you and your family are doing well and in good health. Many things have changed and continue to change but one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety. Infection control has always been a top priority at our practice. By adhering to rigorous disinfection protocols we have been delivering dentistry safely and comfortably for many years. We follow the guidelines and recommendations of ADA (American Dental Association), CDC (Center for Disease Control & Prevention) and OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) in regards to the current pandemic.
We have invested in a Surgically Clean Air purification system for patient and staff care. Hospitals, medical labs, dental clinics, and surgery centers throughout North America are using Surgically Clean Air Purifiers to improve the quality of their indoor air. These world-class medical-grade air purifiers remove chemicals, toxins, germs, odors, and most importantly they kill airborne viruses, to help reduce the spread of illness.

As we resume operations, you will notice some changes around our office in implementing guidelines and recommendations. Some of these changes are:
- In order to help maintain social distancing, we are limiting the amount of people in our waiting room – we ask you to call us when you arrive and remain in your car. We will call you when we are ready to take you to your room.
- You will receive a questionnaire before your appointment too. We are updating the patient’s medical history and contact information. When updatingÂ
medical information on these forms, please fill it out completely. Include any medication list you may have or bring one with you to your appointment (or you can e-mail it to us). - Face coverings are required to enter the building. If you are unable to wear a mask due to a medical condition, you must bring in a legitimate doctor’s note.
- If there are any insurance changes, please e-mail a copy of your card // any information you have before your appointment to [email protected]
- You’ll notice no magazines as these are hard to decontaminate.
- We ask you to limit the number of people accompanying the patient to their appointment to help maintain a safe social distance for everyone. We will ask that those without an appointment, please wait in the car. If your child has an appointment and requires you to be in the room, you will need to fill out our COVID-19 forms and wear a mask. Only one parent is allowed in the room. Our rooms are most comfortable with just the patient and the hygienist/assistant.
These are only some examples. There are other precautions being taken as well. We just don’t want to inundate you with all the details. Taking these extra steps and precautions will help create a safer environment for the patient, the staff and all the people coming into contact with them afterwards. We are taking these measures now so hopefully one day soon we can go back to somewhat of the old normal.
We thank you all for your patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We know it is a lot, but we are just looking out for you, our patients, and our staff.
