COVID-19 & Dental Office Safety
At Enriquez Dental your health and well-being will always be our highest priority. Because of that, we are following the scientific recommendations for safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have used this information to create the protocols we are implementing in our dental office. We understand that we are likely to be dealing with this pandemic for the next 1-2 years. Knowing this we have been able to keep focused on adapting our practices to minimize viral infection risks for our patients and team members.
For your peace of mind, the measures we will be taking to provide a safe dental treatment experience include, but are not limited to, the following:
We are accountable to the same procedures and standards we ask of our patients. Because of that, we begin each day by screening ourselves for symptoms, taking temperatures, and thoroughly cleaning all surfaces and instruments.
We also take time to make sure we are up to date on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Guidelines that help us keep our families and work environments safe.
