Your safety is our primary concern.
We are thoroughly trained in infection control and management. We have always provided a safe and secure environment. Now we strive even further to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 in our clinic. We will do our utmost to ensure your safety.
In addition to extensive team training in infection control and patient management procedures, we have implemented the following infection prevention, appointment scheduling, and patient visit management systems and protocols to ensure your safety at our office.
During your visit
We have instituted longer appointment times that will allow you to complete all appointment tasks and duties in the safest and most comprehensive manner. Longer appointment times will also ensure social distancing in our office.
- We will record your temperature upon arrival to our office.
- We require that you MUST wear masks during your stay in our office.
- You will be required to complete a health questionnaire upon your arrival at our office.
- We will administer an oral pre-rinse for each patient to reduce germ exposure.
- We require hand washing or hand sanitizing before all appointments by our team and by our patients.

Other changes to ensure safety
In addition, we have made the following changes to our office to further enhance the safety of our patients and our staff.
- We have installed droplet barriers (or sneeze guards)in our reception areas.
- We have instituted enhanced operatory disinfection procedures of all surfaces between visits. We will also use fogging devices to clean hard-to-reach surfaces.
- We have installed HEPA filtration for better ambient air management. We will use HEPA filtration continuously throughout the office to capture germs, thereby preventing these germs from circulating in the air.
- We have removed magazines, education material, and other such items to minimize contact surfaces that may harbour or carry germs.
