Dental practices continue to be one of the safest environments
Dental practice infection control standards are mandated by state and federal law originating with guidelines established by the CDC, WHO, FDA, US Dept of Health and Human Services, the Texas State Board of Dental examiners, the American Dental Association, and the Texas Dental Association. That’s a lot of input on ways to keep you safe.
Our strict policy and sanitization procedures have not changed due to the Coronavirus
We take infection control seriously because we care about the safety of our favorite people: our patients and employees!
We continue to use hospital grade, CDC and OSHA-mandated cleaning and disinfection protocols for all surfaces in our office and treatment rooms to disinfect all areas after each patient.
- Dentists and hygienists wear masks to protect YOU
- Sanitize with hospital-grade disinfectant before and after all patients enter, sit down (in a chair that is at least 6 feet away from another), touch door handles, and is even used on the pens and paper used to sign in
A few extra steps to ensure your safety
Our staff has been working hard during the stay at home orders. We took this time to deep clean and disinfect every surface, including the walls.
- All door handles are now wrapped in copper tape, which is used to help kill microbes and bacteria
- Excess furniture and clutter have been removed as these are places where bacteria can linger (this also ensures all surfaces can be disinfected easily)
- Additional disinfecting of areas to include bathrooms, all touchable surfaces and door handles after every patient
