April 2020 Update
We have implemented new strategies in our office to protect our patients and staff. We have purchased an air purifier to decontaminate the air. We are also in the process of installing a new higher speed air vacuum to contain the aerosol. We will be receiving forehead thermometers to take temperature of all patients when they come in. WE ARE HERE FOR YOU AND TO PROTECT YOU!
When I entered the field of dentistry and established my own practice, HIV infections were coming to the forefront. At this time, in the mid 80's and into the 90's, there was no treatment for HIV. Basically, you got it and you died sometime later. During this, and forward to today, I have always told my staff, Treat everyone like they are HIV positive and have hepatitis too!! We are fanatic about hygiene. I would feel very comfortable sitting in one of my chairs and using my equipment on me.
