As always, our office will put our patients’ well being at the forefront of our concerns.  The following are some examples of the safety measures we have implemented:

 

  • CDC, CDPH, FDA recommended/approved personal protective equipment for all dental appointments including N95 mask, double layered with surgical mask, loupes/eye protection wear, face shield, isolation gown, bouffant cap, and (of course) gloves. 
  • Medical grade air purifiers with UV-C light sanitization
  • New HVAC system installed with REME HALO® in-duct air purifier that utilizes RGF’s proprietary Reflective Electro Magnetic Energy technology. Click here for more information on REME HALO® 
  • Isolite system and HVC suction to reduce aerosol during treatment. Click here for more information on Isolite system
  • Staggered appointment time to minimize traffic in the office and to allow social distancing between patients
  • Each individual treatment rooms are fully isolated with doors closed
  • Morning appointments are offered medically vulnerable patients
  • Allowing more time in between patients to thoroughly disinfect operatories with EPA registered disinfectants effective against COVID-19. 
  • Online forms to minimize interpersonal contact
  • Peroxyl mouth rinses. 1.5% hydrogen peroxide, the main ingredient in this mouth rinse, is one of, if not the most, effective virucidal agents available in a mouth rinse
  • Temperature screenings prior to all dental appointments
  • Employees screened daily for Covid-related symptoms

 

Our office closely follows the ever evolving protocols advised 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 understand that these extra steps may be tedious to some of you, but please know that this is all in an effort to keep our community safe by helping curb the spread of this virus.  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, and we look forward to seeing you at your next appointment.
