New Technologies
   

• Air scrubbing systems – use UV, Ozone and Hydrogen Peroxide to kill bacteria and viruses in office air and on surfaces.

• HEPA air filters built in – filter 99.97% of viruses and bacteria to 0.3 nanometers.

• HEPA air purifiers floor - filters placed throughout the office. 

• Specialized helmets - worn by dentists, hygienists and assistants while treating patients, in addition to disposable gowns and gloves.

• Customized suction units, not available on-line,  which have tubes that come near the patient, to evacuate anything that escapes the patients mouth.  Clearing the air every 8 seconds! Much more powerful than anything commercially available for dentistry.  This also serves to provide negative pressure in the operatory.

• Ozonated and Hypochlorous water – safe for human use while killing the virus, used in Europe in place of Chlorine in water.  This will be used to disinfect every inch of the operatory between patients; even more effective than standard dental wipes.  This will also be used in other applications in the office as well.

• Barriers all over the office for air separation between.

• Door buzzer – to limit the number of people inside the office.

• 24 hour remote air monitoring to make sure our systems are always working at peak efficiancy.

• many more technologies.

• Clean Gowns changed between every patient.

• Clear Barriers in waiting room and reception.

• A non-touch thermometer will be used to screen all patients.

• Patients will complete a medical history update, including any recent fevers/COVID-19.

• All paperwork and no touch payments available on-line, to minimize interaction.

• All patients (except young children) will be asked to wear a mask and disinfect their hands (both provided if needed).

• All patients will be asked to rinse their mouths with an antiviral mouthwash, as recommended by the ADA and CDC.
