During check-in, you will receive a text with a COVID-19 questionnaire. We will ask you to take a few moments to answer the screening questions then re-submit it to us prior to entry.
Before you enter our office we will be taking both you and your child’s temperature with a non-contact thermometer. Temperature readings must be below 100.4° for anyone entering the office.
We have streamlined our check-in and check-out processes to minimize time spent in the office. Additionally, you will notice hand sanitizer, sneeze guards and added physical distancing where ever possible for you and your child’s protection.
In order to maintain social distancing, we are requesting that for the time being only one parent or legal guardian accompanies the patient during your visit. As you come into our office you will be entering a “Mask on Zone”. Please remember to bring and wear a mask while in the office. Since we have designed our office with only private treatment rooms, you will be separated from other patients by walls during treatment. Additionally, our lower volume, staggered scheduling approach allows us time for proper sanitation between patients and minimizes changes to the unique pediatric dental experience we provide.
We’ve added more PPE for our entire team including N95, KN95 respirators and Level 3 surgical masks, as well as child friendly face shields and additional washable gowns. The safety of our patients and staff is our top priority.
We are disinfecting common spaces and high-touch surfaces throughout the day, using disinfection products proven effective against SARS-CoV-2. As always, we will continue to follow our strict sanitization procedures for treatment areas and ultrasonic/autoclave sterilization of all instruments after every patient.
Not only have UV Light and Carbon Air purification filters been installed in our HVAC systems but our treatment rooms and waiting area are now equipped with Surgical Clean Air’s Jade purifiers. These medical-grade indoor air cleaning systems are equipped with a 6-stage filtration process that’s designed to remove Chemicals, Toxins, Germs, Odors, and most importantly kill airborne Viruses and Bacteria which help reduce the spread of illness.
We are going beyond sterilizing the surfaces and instruments that we use and actually cleaning the air that we breathe!
We understand our parent’s concerns for their children’s safety during their visits and that’s why we have implemented these enhanced measures. Our goal is to provide the highest level of care for our patients in a safe, caring and welcoming environment. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or would like additional information regarding our enhanced protocols and procedures.
