We have always complied with strict provincially-mandated protocols to maintain a highly sterile environment within our dental office. These guidelines were created to safeguard against the spread of severely contagious diseases such as tuberculosis and measles, and they are equally effective in managing the spread of influenza and the coronavirus. In response to the current pandemic, we have augmented our safety protocols in a number of areas, including:
Patient Health Screening including temperature
Office Social Distancing
Common Area Sterilization
Personal Protective Equipment
Team training on a variety of new protocols to limit virus spread
Plexiglass shields or masks where social distancing is not possible
Posters explaining social distancing and hand washing
Hand sanitizer for all patients on entrance and exit to clinic
The safety of our patients and team is our highest priority.
