Technologies and Protocols

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.
New Protocols

-
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.
-
All staff will wear either a mask, shield or a helmet at all times.
