Covid-19 Reopening
In an effort to assure the safety and health of our patients and everyone at SmileUp Dentistry, we have a plan for re-opening our dental practice.
We are following all CDC engineering controls for your protection.
If you are experiencing any symptoms as explained on the CDC site, do not come for your appointment and contact us immediately. It is critical we keep everyone safe.
Safety Enhancements and Process Changes
In order to keep contact to a minimum, SmileUp Dentistry setup new procedures for patient appointments.
1) Maintain social distancing
Patients wait in their cars until we text them. We hope in the near future things will be back to normal and we can open up our waiting room, but for now, it’s a no.
2) Extra visitors and guests of patients are not allowed
Just you, the patient. We understand the issues involved and the way things are currently, this is what we are allowed to do.
3) We take temperature at the door with our no contact thermometer
If the temperature is above 99 degrees, we will request you go home.
4) We will provide you with hand sanitizer before you enter
We ask you to TOUCH NOTHING on your way to your chair.
5) We give you a mask to wear at the door
You are welcome to take the mask home afterwards.
6) We give you an ozone mouth rinse
We ask you to wipe your exposed skin with an ozone washcloth.
7) We use ozone water in our dental units
Not only does that give us zero colony forming units, it keeps ALL of our waterlines sterile. No nasty stuff can grow in there.
8) We use DryShield to safely control all saliva and aerosols
DryShield performs all of the tasks of a high-suction evacuator, bite block, tongue shield and oral pathway protector in one easy-to-use device.
9) We use EnvironMed Negative ION Generator
Negative Ions generators create electronically charged particles that have extra electrons. Air contaminants are positively charged and when in contact with negative ions they will be neutralized.
10) All gowns are cleaned between each service
We clean our clothing between each servicing using Ozone and disinfectants.
11) We wear p100 mercury respirators or n95 masks or equivalent around you
We sanitize our reusable p100 masks with ozone or wipe them down with Optim wipes.
12) We have face shields
We wear face shields so no direct contact will occur when in close proximity.
