Statement about COVID-19 Virus
Our offices are open and we are available for dental emergencies during the Coronavirus pandemic.
Patients with dental emergencies are encouraged and directed by State health officials to see dentists rather than going to emergency rooms.
No matter where you turn, there is alarming news about COVID-19 virus. We want to reassure everyone that we are taking all steps necessary to heighten our cleaning and disinfecting procedures so you can enjoy a safe and healthy visit. Our dental office is one of the safest places to be. We always exceed the standards for disinfection and sterilization of all instruments and treatment rooms. Now, as an extra precaution, we are following the CDC and Delaware State Dental Society guidelines to take all patients temperature and having them swish and rinse with 1% Hydrogen Peroxide (since the SARS-COV-2 virus is highly vulnerable to oxidation) before any aerosol producing dental procedures. We are also disinfecting hard surfaces in the waiting room, bathrooms and front desk on a continuous basis to keep both patients and staff safe from any infection.
If you have an upcoming appointment, please inform our staff if you have a fever, cold, loss of sense of smell or taste, red itchy eyes or flu symptoms. If you have any of these symptoms, you should stay home and call your family doctor. If you feel fine, then come see us! Please remember if you cannot keep your appointment to call the office as soon as possible. Thank you.
