We have reopened our practice in accordance with infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the New Jersey State Dental Board guidelines to responsibly resume seeing our patients for regular dental appointments and treatment.
We want to assure you of the measures we have taken to maintain a clean and safe environment so you can continue to receive dental care without fear or concern.
Our team has had additional training to ensure our processes meet or exceed sanitation and sterilization standards of care, and we have elevated our infection control procedures in response to this time of global concern. You can visit our practice with confidence, knowing we are taking additional measures to provide for the safety of our patients and our team:
- Elevated infection control standards including the thorough sterilization and disinfection of treatment rooms and instruments between each patient.
- Continued social distancing practices— Once you check in for your appointment, please wait outside the office in your car and we will text or call to let you know when the team is ready to begin your appointment.
- Preemptive screenings– All patients and staff members will be screened and have their temperatures taken upon arrival. Patients will be asked to complete additional health history information. Click here for forms
- Protected during treatment– All patients will be provided with an antibacterial/microbial rinse prior to all treatments. Patients will be provided with protective eyewear to wear during all treatments.
- Adherence to standard sterile healthcare environment protocols including hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (e.g. gloves, masks, face shields, eyewear), respiratory hygiene, sharps safety, safe injection practices (when applicable), sterile instruments and devices, and clean and disinfected environmental surfaces and common areas.
- Patients will be asked to wear a mask to their appointment and use hand-sanitizer upon entering the practice.
