COVID-19 Update

July 2021

To our Wonderful Patients:

It has been a much longer year and more involved pandemic than any of us could have anticipated. I wanted to provide an update to our policies and procedures as we gradually come out of the consequences of this pandemic with a constant eye on keeping all of our patients and staff safe. The vaccine has been a huge part of allowing our practice to more comfortably continue to provide excellent dental care. You will notice that we continue to practice the highest level of sterilization and disinfection for our patients and in between patient visits. We are continuing to filter the air in our operatories and the office to combat any chance of aerosols lingering in the air. Our Cao Group directional air filters and our Jade unit air filters by surgically clean air are still being run 24/ 7 to insure the purest air possible. We are following CDC and the State of Nevada guidelines for healthcare settings. For the time being this means that in healthcare settings regardless of vaccination status, you will be asked to wear a mask covering your mouth and nose in transition to your treatment room and in the reception area per Nevada Board of Dental Examiners guidelines. We will also strive to keep people from gathering in groups of unaffiliated individuals. Your help in protecting vulnerable individuals and cooperating with these guidelines during this rapidly changing situation is greatly appreciated.
