As the country slowly begins to reopen in the COVID-19 pandemic, health is at the forefront of everyone’s mind. If you need dental care after weeks stuck inside during quarantine, you may be looking for a safe dentist in Medford. Your dedicated dental team has established a wide variety of new COVID-19 safety and infection control protocols to ensure your next visit is as safe as possible. Here’s how your Medford dentist prepares for your upcoming appointment to keep you as healthy as possible.
1.) Advanced Staff Training
Before making the decision to reopen Island Daily Dental Care, each team member completed advanced safety training. Your dental team has always practiced exceptional infection control procedures to keep you safe from sicknesses like the common cold and the flu. Now, they’ve bolstered those skills with additional COVID-19 awareness and prevention information to protect you during the pandemic.
2.) Designated Safety Champion
One team member is selected to be the designated Safety Champion every day. They’re tasked with monitoring the practice’s Commitment to Safety and ensuring that all new protocols are being followed correctly. Additionally, they’re available to answer any questions from patients or staff.
3.) Daily Health Checks
Every day at the office starts off with a health check for our team members. This includes a quick health questionnaire and a no-touch temperature check. This way, you can rest assured that every team member is ready, prepared, and able to provide safe dental care.
4.) Thorough & Regular Cleaning Schedules
Now and always, every dental tool is disinfected between each use with methods outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While your dentist’s office has always been exceptionally clean, your dental team will be diligently sanitizing all surfaces and equipment in every treatment room after each appointment. Then, at the end of the day, the entire office is deep cleaned.
5.) New Highly Efficient Air Filtration
Since COVID-19 can spread through aerosols that are created during most dental procedures, your Medford dentist has invested in state-of-the-art technology to block, hinder, or eliminate the movement of airborne particles. You’ll notice that advanced chairside suction machines, jade air purifiers, and HEPA Vanguard devices have been installed throughout the practice to keep the air as clean as possible.
The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed many aspects of everyday life that we once took for granted, but it hasn’t changed your dentist’s commitment to your wellbeing. If you need to visit them for care during the pandemic, you can rest assure that they are ready and able to keep you and your smile healthy during your visit.
