Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice, and our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it's both safe and comfortable. We follow 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). By following the activities of these agencies we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued.
There are a few new COVID-19 protocols you'll notice when visiting us. These have all been put in place to help us keep you and our staff healthy. Below are a few things you may notice:
- You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children's toys and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
- We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce the waiting time for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.
We appreciate you and thank you for your understanding at this time.
Dr. Staley-Henne and team
