Covid Precautions
We have changed our procedures in light of the Coronavirus risk but dentists have always been infection controls specialists!
Our patients will use a precautionary pre-op Peroxide rinse. Dr. Ehmann, our hygienists and assistants are wearing masks and eye protection and will have face shields. Lynn and Marcia (our wonderful) hygienists are using High speed evacuation suction while using the Cavitron for cleanings.
We are still using our Ultrasonic scalers because we don’t feel our patients will receive an adequate cleaning without them. Hand scaling alone isn’t as effective to reduce biofilm plaque and inflammation.
We have air purifiers with HEPA filtration in our operatories and the hygienists are using disposable coverings and then spray disinfecting their whole rooms after every patient.
Please feel free to call with any questions or concerns. We are confident and proud of our safety protocols. We love our patients and are so grateful to be able to serve them in this unusual time!
