Bathrooms will be disinfected after each use.SCREENING
- Patients will be screened by phone before scheduling an appointment and during patient confirmation prior to the appointment via screening questions.
- Patients are asked to remain in their cars. A triage station outside the building has been set up and a designated Dental Health Care Provider (DHCP) will go to the patient’s car to take and record their temperature.
- The DHCP will ask the patient the same screening questions once again.
OPERATORY
- Pre-procedural rinse will be performed with 1.5% Hydrogen Peroxide for 30 seconds.
- High Volume Evacuation, Isovac/DryShield/ and/or Rubber Dams will be used to control the level of aerosol.
CHECK OUT PROCEDURES
- When directed by personnel, you will go to the check out desk unaccompanied when possible.
- We will provide you with pens for checkout that you can take home with you in order to avoid contamination. We are also disinfecting our office supplies (when applicable) in the office with EPA approved disinfectant for your protection.
NOTES:
We are instituting digital forms that will be filled out on your mobile devices and will automatically save into your patient chart. This will minimize the use of paper, saving precious trees and avoiding contamination.
