Keeping You Safe & Your Teeth Clean!
We are back to cleaning teeth and are following all guidelines as per the College of Registered Dental Hygienists of Alberta’s updates. Please be aware that additional precautions will be taken in the clinic to ensure the safety of our patients and team. Keep reading to see a few of these precautions. The demand has been overwhelming and we are doing everything that we can to keep welcoming you all. Thanks for your patience- please reach out if you have any questions.
PPE
It may be harder to recognize our team- but trust us, we are so happy to see you from under all these layers of PPE. If your kids (or anyone you know) have any anxiety about getting their teeth cleaned during this time, we recommend introducing them to these new clinic practices/procedures before coming in! Seeing our team decked out in their PPE and the changes we’ve made at the clinic will help reduce any stress they may have.
Private Treatment Rooms
Isolated rooms with fully closing doors help us manage the risk of infection by protecting the sterilization of supplies & instruments, enhancing the effectiveness of our air purification systems and containing aerosols to the individual rooms.
Air Purification Systems
Each treatment room has it’s own air purification system. The multi stage filtration system captures pollutants that are found in the inside air and cleans, purifies and re-energizes it. We also maintain a settling time of 3 hours between patients.
Sterilization Process
Sterilization has always been a very important part of our everyday life here at the clinic- here’s a behind-the-scenes look of the process.
