Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

​

• Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions and a COVID Questionnaire will be required prior to each office visit

• No office personnel will be permitted to work if they have a fever or any other symptoms of COVID-19

• We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.

• Office personnel will wear recommended protective gear (PPE) pertinent to appointment and/or procedure

• Patients and office personnel’s temperatures will be taken at the office

• Patients will be provided with pre-procedural Peroxyl mouth rinse

• Surfaces will be, as always, cleaned/disinfected and instruments will be sterilized

​

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.
