An important message regarding COVID-19 and your safety.

We are now open and as always, your care is very important to us.

As you may be aware, dental offices are now free to resume non essential work. Although the risk of transmitting COVID-19 in a dental office is low, we are committed to doing what is right to contribute to the broad efforts being undertaken to limit the impact COVID-19 will have.

In this moment of uncertainty, we would like to emphasize we are here for you!

Our practice undertakes industry best-in-class infection prevention and control measures, and we strongly believe that with sufficient protective measures in place, a dental practice represents a safe and low-risk environment for our patients.

For all patient visits, we:

• Perform a risk assessment and screen all patients in advance of the appointment and upon arrival at the clinic.
• Observe meticulous hand hygiene practices throughout the day and hand washing before putting on PPE or handling anything that the patient may handle
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment during the appointment and interactions with patients and their environment, such as gloves, mask, eye protection, and gowns, as required.

Between patient visits, we:

• Clean, disinfect and sterilize all instruments
• Wipe all operatory surfaces with disinfectant

At least daily, we:

• Empty standard garbage receptacles and change liners
• Clean floors (vacuum/dry mop and wet mop)
• Clean and disinfect high touch wall features (light switches, thermostat, door handles, ledges, etc.)
• Clean reception area, administrative areas and rooms
• Clean and disinfect all bathrooms
