COVID: OUR RESPONSEAt Crown Hill Smiles, we are committed to your health and your safety. While we have missed our patients during this time of closure, this down time has allowed us to review our current protocols and implement additional science-backed measures to ensure your safety during your visits to our office. As dentists, we deal with preventing infection on a daily basis so maintaining high standards of infection control is second nature for us. In response to Covid-19, our standards have become even higher. We have been working closely with experts at the University of Washington and governing bodies such as DQAC and OSHA to research and review strategies to minimize infection risk in our office. We have spent hours with our team learning new protocols and practicing increased protective measures. See our COVID-19 Checklist of evidence-based recommendations and guidelines that will be implemented during every stage of your visit. We will limit how germs can enter the office starting from the time you schedule. With pre-visit screening we will be identifying and rescheduling potential carriers. When you arrive, we have modified our reception area by removing non-essential items, and the reception space will allow for proper social distancing. During treatment, elevated protocols of infection control will be carried out throughout the duration of the appointment. After your procedure, the treatment area is not only disinfected with sprays and thorough wiping down but the air is also cleaned using high volume HEPA air filtration. As we resume practicing, we promise to continue to provide you with the best clinical care while having the proper strategies and guidelines in place for your safety and protection. We look forward to seeing you soon. Until then, stay safe. |
