COVID-19 Protocols

Our office has followed guidelines and recommendations set by The American Dental Association, The Center For Disease Control, and The Texas Dental Board. Some of the many precautions our office is taking include:

Pre-Procedural Rinses

All patients, regardless of procedure, are ask to pre-rinse with an iodine based mouth-rinse. As the virus continues to impact our daily lives, companies have made strides forward in protecting both dental teams and their patients. Researchers have determined the rinse used in our office can kill 99.99% of the virus that causes COVID-19 within 30 seconds which is why we ask our patients to utilize it prior to their procedure regardless of showing any signs or symptoms.

Curbside Check-In

We ask that all patients text upon their arrival to minimize the number of people in our office at any given time.

Pre-Screening of all patients

All patients are asked to fill out a pre-screen form prior to being taken back that include medical history review, travel history, review of any possible signs or symptoms, as well as the recorded temperature at time of arrival.

PPE and Cleaning Procedures

Many new procedures have been put in place to protect our patients some of which include: 15 minute room soak between each and every patient, staggered dental appointments to prevent multiple people in our ops at the same time, posted reminders that masks are required to enter the office and are to be worn unless in a treatment chair, N95/KN95 masks worn by all staff members along with an additional level 3 mask, face shields on all providers, disposable gowns, hand sanitation stations located throughout office, and disinfection of all common areas every hour. While some of these protocols our office had in place prior to COVID 19, additional measures are taken every day to ensure the safety of our patients and our staff.
