To our Valued Patients,

We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our communities have been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same, our office’s commitment to your safety.

As COVID-19 continues to influence our daily lives and operations, we believe it is our utmost responsibility to heighten health and safety procedures in our office. Infection control has always been a top priority in our practice. We ask that you please be patient and understand that we will do our best to accommodate your scheduling needs, as we know many of you are anxious to get back into our office.

Please take time to read and digest these actions we are taking to protect our patients, team and community. These additional measures are to ensure the safety and peace of mind for everyone who walks through our doors, and to reduce any possible risk of exposure.

Upon scheduling an appointment, a COVID-19 questionnaire will be emailed to you. This questionnaire must be completed before you arrive at the office. We will postpone treatment for any patient who has experienced or been in contact with someone who has experienced the following symptoms within 14 days of the scheduled appointment date: fever, cough, loss of taste and/or smell, flu-like symptoms, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, and fatigue.

We will be scheduling appointments in a manner that promotes social distancing and allows for adequate time for us to disinfect all areas of use in between patient appointments.Upon arrival at our office, call us before entering the office to let us know you have arrived. We will call you once the office is ready for you to enter.

We ask that patients enter the office unaccompanied. For those patients who need a guardian to accompany them, we ask that this be limited to a single family member. Please refrain from bringing extra baggage, such as handbags, shopping bags or coats.

Every person entering the office is expected to wear a face covering and will be asked to sanitize their hands immediately upon entry.

We will confirm no fever with a contactless thermometer upon your arrival.

We have invested in 6 medical-grade high efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) air purifiers by Surgically Clear Air and additional high volume bio aerosols reducing equipment to help clear and improve the air quality for all patients, family members, and staff.

Surgically Clean Air technology uses a six-stage air filtration system to clean and sterilize indoor air.

These stages include:

1. Pre-filter stage – catches large particles as room air is drawn through the intake chamber; comprised of an anti-biotic pre-filter which inhibits most bacterial growth.



2. Dual-stage electronic precipitator stage – filters out particulates, and contain these particles.
3. Activated carbon filter and molecular sieve stage – absorbs odors, chemicals, and gases
4. Photo-catalytic stage – captures remaining residue from VOCs, bacteria, and viruses that have been destroyed.
5. Dual high-intensity ultraviolet chamber – obliterates viruses and bacteria at the DNA level.

 
All clinical and non clinical surfaces will be thoroughly disinfected with hospital-grade cleaning solution in between each patient, and alcohol-based hand sanitizer and antibacterial hand soaps/sinks will be available throughout the office

Our doctor and staff will be wearing all of the recommended personal protective equipment (PPE). All staff on site will also be required to undertake daily screenings.

Thank you for being part of our family dental practice. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors, and friends.
