Brian Dental Care has begun to resume providing elective and routine care using new safety protocols. As we welcome back our patients, our number one priority is their safety and well-being, as well as that of our doctors and team members. Brian Dental Care is well prepared to face this challenge and we’ll get through this together.
Throughout all our practices, we have already recognized for its stringent infection control practices and always attains the highest levels of infection control. Brian Dental Care has used the most up-to-date procedures long before COVID-19, and we want to reassure patients they continue to be an important part of our daily routines.
Because of the COVID-19, we will be implementing additional protocols to protect all those who step into our practices.
Here are some of the new procedures you can expect:
- If a patient is not feeling well or has an elevated temperature, we will ask them to reschedule their appointment.
- We will check your temperature and ask a few questions regarding your health.
- We will request that all patients wear a mask or face covering to their appointment.
- We will ask that patients come alone to their appointment. For children, only one parent/caregiver can accompany a child for an appointment and only one parent/caregiver can be at a child’s chairside at a time.
- We will request that no one can wait in the reception area.
- We will require patients to wash their hands before and after their appointment.
- We will request that all visitors maintain a 6-foot distance from others while in the practice.
- We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in our office at any one time.
- Doctors and team members may wear additional personal protective equipment, such as face shields, during exams/treatment.
- Finally, we have always taken pride in our office efficiency with all appointments running “on schedule”. Please be patient with us during this time as we implement these additional safety precautions.
Thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding to keep our patients, staff, and community safe.
