Dear Valued Patients,
COVID-19 is in the news everywhere, and now that another Shelter in Place order is in effect we are continuing to closely monitor the situation. We’re reaching out to assure you that you are safe at Pope Dental. There have been no new restrictions set in place for dental offices as we are an essential service. As always the safety of our patients and staff is our number one priority.
We already, as a daily practice, assure universal precautions as outlined by CDC and OSHA standards of infection control. Safety is always our number one focus. Our high standard of care ensures that your trust and safety are never compromised.
We are still taking extended measures to further protect all our patients and team with the following additional protocols:
- In compliance with the recommendations for public health, anyone with a cough or fever will not be allowed in the building and should stay home. We will be happy to reschedule your appointment for a later date
- Before your appointment, you have the option to stay in your car instead of the waiting room until we’re ready to seat you in your personal operatory. Simply call us when you arrive, and we will let you know when we’re ready for you.
- Upon entering Pope Dental, you will be asked to sanitize your hands also your temperature and oxygen saturation levels will be taken before you are seen.
- At the beginning of every appointment, you will be asked to pre-rinse with OraCare or an Iodine rinse. OraCare Mouth Rinse and the Iodine rinse are proven to have anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.
- Additionally, we are requesting you sanitize your hands before re-entering the business areas. We are also sanitizing the waiting area multiple times per day.
You can be assured safety measures at Pope Dental will continue to evolve as more information develops.
Stay well, hydrate, eat nutritiously, and get plenty of sleep.
We look forward to serving you.
