On June 3, the Department of Health made a statement that dental offices can resume seeing all patients for all (emergency and routine) care. In an effort to make Baccellieri Family Dentistry the safest environment we can, we have made some changes over the last few months.
What improvements have we made to further eliminate virus transmission?
| • |
UV lighting was installed in the ventilation to kill 99% of germs and viruses.
|
| • |
In addition to following OSHA guidelines for cleaning rooms, we use an HOCl fogger to disinfect the environment between patients in treatment rooms and used periodically in open spaces.
|
| • |
Staff members use additional Personal Protective Equipment (sterile gowns, shields, hair coverings) along with the typical sterile gloves and KN95 masks they have always worn.
|
| • |
We installed plastic barriers at check-in and check-out for your safety while talking to front desk staff. |
What to expect when you come in for an appointment?
| • |
You will be asked to wear a mask or face covering into the office, wearing at all times except while you are being treated.
|
| • |
At entry, you will be asked to use hand sanitizer, a staff member will take your temperature (no contact / forehead) and do a brief screening for illness.
|
| • |
The waiting room is arranged so that the recommended 6 foot social distancing is in effect. |
We are excited to see our patients again and help maintain those healthy smiles! |
These days, patients have more treatment options than ever before when it comes to orthodontics. Some of these treatments are safer, more comfortable, and more effective than traditional methods. This is largely thanks to advancements in technology and techniques.
