Safety Precautions Taken by Our Office

Our office does an outstanding job of adhering to the latest, most up-to-date infection control measures. We are constantly monitoring changes to infection control guidelines provided by OSHA, CDC, ADA, IDPH, ISDS, etc.

While our office has held a high standard of infection control over the years, we will make some common sense changes in order to minimize the spread of COVID-19.

• Patients use prescreening questions before arriving to appointment.
• Cleaning and utilizing infection control measures in public areas frequently, such as door handles, bathrooms, and chairs.
• Making sure our PPE (gloves, masks, eye protection, etc) are appropriate for the services provided.
• We are adhering to the American Dental Association “Return to Work Interim Guidance Toolkit” at this time.
