How We Are Handling The Situation:

​

In the current environment, There is no higher priority than keeping our patients from being exposed to COVID-19. That’s why we want to update you with the steps we are taking to ensure your health and safety in our office. We stay updated with the very latest information from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), Virginia Dental Association (VDA), and other related government agencies. We stay on top of this evolving situation.

​

We are closely following the CDC’s, WHO’s, VDH’s, and VDA’s guidelines and recommendations on the steps we can take to help prevent the spread of the disease. The following are some of the practices we perform that follow and exceed these guidelines:

​

• Screening patients for travel and signs and symptoms of infection when they update their medical histories.

• Scheduling patients one at a time to get rid of patient-to-patient contact.

• Taking temperature readings as part of their routine assessment of patients before performing dental procedures.

• Making sure the personal protective equipment used is appropriate for the procedures being performed.

• Providing a mask for patients to decrease possible exposure to infectious agents.

• Using high-speed evacuation for dental procedures producing an aerosol.

• Autoclaving handpieces after each patient.

• Having patients rinse with a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution before each appointment.

• Cleaning and disinfecting public areas frequently, including door handles, chairs and bathrooms.

• Providing online forms to fill out to decrease patient’s stay in the office.

• ​

Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses, meaning they are one of the easiest types of viruses to kill with the appropriate disinfectant product. According to the most recent information from the CDC, for most people, the immediate risk of being exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to be low. Yet, we strive to protect our patients from any COVID-19 risk.
