We’ve gone above and beyond to stay on top of the latest infection control standards. We have chosen to enhance safety beyond the mandated infection control requirements by the Ministry of Health. Our office improved Indoor Air Quality through use of High Efficiency DOUBLE filtration at Central HVAC system in 2021. At Brightway Dental we follow enhanced safety protocols. While we have always prioritized our patients’ well being, the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the adoption of more stringent measures to counter infections. As such, you may notice some changes on your next appointment.
Here’s what to expect:
Pre-Appointment Patient Screening
Our dental team will call in you in advance to perform a patient screening aimed at determining if you’re showing any COVID-19 symptoms. If you’re feeling unwell, we’ll kindly ask that you reschedule your appointment to a time when you’re feeling better.
Curbside Waiting
To encourage social distancing, we have adopted curbside waiting and check-in. When you arrive at our office, kindly wait in your car until your appointment time.
We ask that each patient comes alone, with the exception of minors who need to be accompanied by a parent and those who need assistance.
Sanitization Stations
At the front entrance, we have installed patient protection points complete with hand sanitizer and face masks. Remember also to allow our staff to check your temperature with touch-less infrared thermometers before proceeding to the treatment rooms.
Staggered Appointments
We’re staggering our appointments to allow longer time between patient visits, which encourages social distancing and gives us ample time to disinfect in between procedures.
Personal Protective Equipment
We have secured adequate personal protective equipment for the safety of our team and patients. Our dentists perform treatments while dressed in full protective gear like N95 masks, face shields, surgical caps and gowns. Before each procedure, the dentist will ask that you rinse with a pre-procedural rinse to minimize the number of microorganisms introduced in the air via splatter.
Increased Disinfection & Indoor Air Quality
We’re not leaving anything to chance as far as ensuring our office is well sterilized at all times. Besides thoroughly disinfecting the office after procedures, we’ve also mandated frequent hand washing as part of our safety protocols. We have completely renovate our Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Our office is equipped with the high efficiency DOUBLE filtration at Central HVAC system in 2021 to improve indoor Air Quality.
As we battle the COVID-19 pandemic, Brightway Dental remains committed to providing outstanding care while safeguarding all patients’ and staff’s safety. Call Brightway Dental to schedule an appointment with our dentists in Courtice, ON.
