When COVID-19 entered the US and everything began to shut down in March, we had no idea that it would last for the unforeseen future. However, during this time, we’ve taken extra steps to keep patients and staff safe during their visits to our dental office. Patients can feel safe getting the dental care they need without a high risk of contracting COVID-19.
Learn how we’re keeping our Wichita Falls dental office safe during COVID-19 with these nine steps.

1. Screening Questions Prior to Appointment
2. Hand Sanitizer Throughout the Office
3. Waiting For Your Appointment in Your Car
4. Appointments Managed to Allow for Social Distancing
5. Temperature Checks For Team Members and Patients
6. Hospital Grade Sterilization and Sanitation Protocols
Sanitation has always been a high priority at our dental office. Patients can feel relieved knowing we use the same level of sterilization and sanitation as hospitals. Every stage of your appointment is sanitized for you from the pens you use to x-rays and your exam chair. We clean all high-touch areas thoroughly after each patient so you can feel safe putting your hands on anything; and when you do touch something, we have hand sanitizer located throughout our office for extra precaution.
7. Doctors and Staff Wearing Additional PPE
8. UV Light Air Filters in the HVAC System
9. Multi-Stage Air Filters to Purify the Air
In addition to our UV light air filter in the HVAC system, we also use a multi-stage air filter that passes through several stages to remove some of the smallest particles from the air including airborne viruses. This extra step helps us create the cleanest air possible in our office. If COVID-19 did make its way into our office, these extra filters would help remove it from the air.
These nine steps are here to make every visit with us as safe as possible. If you have any questions about our precautions or sanitation steps, please do not hesitate to contact our Wichita Falls dental office by calling 940-322-2252. We encourage you to schedule your next dental appointment with total peace of mind whether it is a dental cleaning or the next stage in your dental treatment.
