New Procedures

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable.

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.

You will notice several changes when you next visit our office. We have made these changes to protect you and our staff:

• We will reach out to you before your appointment and ask pointed screening questions. When you arrive we will ask you those same questions again.
• Everyone entering the office will be asked to sanitize their hands upon arrival. We will provide hand sanitizer or access to soap.
• Appointments are being scheduled to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean you are offered fewer options when scheduling your appointment.
• We are allowing greater time between patients to give us the ability to thoroughly clean and disinfect the office.
• We may ask any companions accompanying you to remain outside the office during your visit in order
