Screening patients before check-in

• Checking temperatures of all patients as they arrive at our office

• Thoroughly disinfecting treatment rooms between appointments

• Extending and staggering appointment times to reduce the number of patients in the office at one time.

• Following state and national guidelines on personal protective equipment

• Requiring everyone in the office to wear a mask unless they are receiving dental treatment

• Screening team members and taking temperatures every morning

• Reducing aerosols in treatment rooms using high-speed evacuation and a revolutionary suction device called an Isolite to limit the airborne spread of the virus

• Offering patients oral rinse before procedures to reduce potential pathogen spread

• Disinfecting waiting areas and contact points in the office frequently and regularly throughout the day

• Encouraging clean hands by placing hand sanitizer in all patient and staff areas

Anyone showing signs of a respiratory illness is sent home and will need to reschedule their appointment after they have received a negative COVID test and quarantined for an appropriate duration.
