As Governor Polis has executed the directive order Safer at Home, we are all looking forward to resuming our normal activities and routines. Our top priority is your safety and the safety of our team. Infection control has always been a top priority as we practice “Standard Precautions” to protect our patients, our team and the public. Our office strictly 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 have been monitoring and implementing new guidance that have been issued. In addition, we have certified HEPA air purifiers in each operatory which remove 99.97% of particles with an air exchange of up to 22 times per hour. You may see some additional changes when it is time for your next appointment. These changes were recommended by the ADA, CDA, and CDC to help protect our patients and staff.

For example:

• Our office will communicate with you before hand to ask some screening questions.
• We ask that you arrive to your appointment at your schedule time, rather than early.
• We have hand sanitizer throughout the office for you to use as needed.
• You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and so forth,
as those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
• We are also following virtual waiting room guidelines to allow for social distancing.
• We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you.To ensure your health and the health of our staff, we do follow usual universal precautions in our operatories and office. Additionally, every half hour to an hour we wipe down the waiting room and common spaces with disinfectant.

For the protection of all our patients and staff due the recent outbreak of coronavirus, we are requesting the following:

  • If you have an illness or are exhibiting symptoms, we recommend you cancel and reschedule your dental appointment. Some illness and symptoms include:
    • a cold or the flu
    • fever or nausea
    • severe headaches or body aches
    • muscle or stomach pain, chest pain or difficulty breathing
    • vomiting or diarrhea
    • active tuberculosis (TB)
    • mumps, measles, chickenpox
    • other contagious disease
  • Please notify our staff before your appointment if you or someone you are in close contact with have recently traveled to one of the countries with large outbreaks of COVID-19 (ex. China, Italy, Iran, South Korea) or if you have been exposed to someone else who was diagnosed with COVID-19 or who was quarantined as a precaution.

If you are healthy, there’s no need to cancel your regularly scheduled dental appointment.
