\"WomanMany dental offices have only been open for emergency care as the country tries to combat the spread of COVID-19. As dentists reopen their doors for routine services, it\u2019s normal to be concerned about their cleanliness. Dental offices are already some of the cleanest places, but they\u2019ve established several new protocols<\/a> to further reduce harmful pathogens. Your dentist in Richardson is doing more than just spraying a disinfectant. Here are 5 ways your dentist has implemented environmental infection control.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Daily Health Checks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keeping the office germ-free begins with keeping bacteria\nand viruses out of the office. Your dental team will undergo a daily health\ncheck to ensure they are well and ready to help you.  They\u2019ll have a no contact temperature check\nand answer a quick set of questions before beginning their day helping\npatients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. No Patient Gloves Allowed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gloves are an important protective barrier between germs and\nyour skin. Although they are helpful for keeping you well, they can also cause\ncross-contamination. As a result, your dentist will ask you to remove your\noutside gloves before entering their office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Pre-Screening of Patients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although there\u2019s much to learn about coronavirus, research\nshows people can still transmit the virus, even if they aren\u2019t showing any\nsymptoms. Therefore, your dentist will take a no contact temperature check and ask\na brief set of questions to ensure each patient is healthy before their appointment.\nIf you experience illness within 14 days of your visit, it\u2019s important to call\nyour dentist to notify them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Cleaning After Every Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental offices already follow strict protocols when cleaning\nand disinfecting; however, they are going the extra mile with their cleaning routine.\nThey super clean the office after every appointment. They will sanitize and disinfect\ninstruments, surfaces, and tools to reduce cross-contamination. Rest assured,\nthe cleaning products are EPA-registered and hospital-grade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Disposable Protective Clothing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Research shows harmful pathogens can be transmitted by\nclothing. As a result, your dental team will wear disposable protective\nclothing over their own. They are disposed of properly after each patient or when\nthey become heavily contaminated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose a Higher Standard of Clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although your dental offices are already pretty clean, dentists\nhave raised the bar for sanitizing and disinfecting. Your dentist will follow\nthe latest guidelines recommended by the CDC, ADA, and OSHA. You can get the\ndental care you need without worrying about your exposure to COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
