COVID-19 INFECTION CONTROL

WE ARE NOW OPEN for ALL YOUR dental needs!

Per Governor’s executive order, Dental offices are one of the healthcare and public health operations that have been permitted and encouraged to operate in order to keep our patients healthy and out of hospital and emergency room settings that cannot currently handle the capacity. We remain committed to providing care to the communities we serve to keep our patients and families healthy as we continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation.

We ensure you the health and safety of our patients is our number one priority. Our practices have infection control policies and systems in place that meet or exceed the Center for Disease Control’s Standard Precautions for Dental Practices.

Below are details about the comprehensive measures our clinics have implemented while we are open

Protecting our patients in the clinics

To prevent cross contamination between patients and staff, We choose the stat-of-art extra oral suction units in each procedure room. The RD-80 extra oral suction unit system will minimize aerosolized airborne particles, airborne bacteria, Virus during the procedure and keep the air quality clean inside of our office. Each RD-80 unit has multilayer filters including HEPA filter with UVC light sanitation unit inside. This RD-80 unit will protect you and our staff from possible airborne bacteria, virus and other pathogen in air.

Screening procedure

Patients will be screened verbally prior to appointment and at time of entry asking a series of questions. Any patient or staff experiencing or showing any signs/symptoms will be asked to proactively stay home for two weeks.

We have procured thermometers for our clinical locations and each patient and staff will perform a temperature check using a no-touch infrared thermometer. Patients will also be asked to report temperatures that occur up to 48 hours after appointment.

Patients should wear a mask or face covering from time of entry until pre-rinse is completed and will put mask back on after post-procedure rinse.

Patients will be asked to hand sanitize upon entry and after appointment

Patients will be asked to not use Cell Phones at appointment

Clean Air System

Clean air is the one of the important priority to our patients and our staff. Alpine Periodontics have upgraded to the most high efficiency Medify Medical Grade Filtration H13 True HEPA Air Purification systems in both offices.

Medical Grade H13 Filters (higher rated than True HEPA) 99.97% particle removal. H13 True HEPA is considered medical grade air filtration. You don't have to worry about the air borne pathogen any more when you are visiting our office.

Cleaning/Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

We are performing more frequent cleanings throughout the day and between patients. We use CDC and EPA approved cleaning agents. We are using a higher level of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) than is recommended by the CDC for dental offices. We commit to the highest-standards in keeping our facilities sanitized and practicing good hygiene.
