COVID-19 Safety Protocols

 We, at Complete Health Dentistry Of Portland, are dedicated to the safety of our patients and staff. We have taken certain infection control measures to make your visits to our office as safe as possible.

We strictly follow the guidelines provided by the ADA, CDC, and OSHA as part of the infection control procedures. We stay up-to-date on any new guidance provided by these agencies.

Is it safe to see the dentist now?

With all that is happening in the world, it is more important than ever to pay attention to your health.  An important part of this prevention is making sure your mouth is in good order. 

As the gateway to the rest of your body, healthcare providers and the World Health Organization all say that oral health is a critical component to a long healthspan (not just a long life, but one filled with doing what you love).  We understand that you want to take care of yourself in the safest way possible.  Here is a short interview with Dr. Dowsett and Portland internist Dr. Heather Baskin of the Baskin Clinic (weblink?  http://baskinclinic.com/) discussing what you should ask and expect at your next wellness visit to the dentist. 

 

Being interviewed by internist Dr. Heather Baskin, M.D. of The Baskin Clinic.

Have a look at the changes we are still implementing in our office to help protect our patients and staff:

 

Hospital-Grade Hand Sanitizing Station
When you enter the office at the front desk and you can find some in each operatory room and other places in the office which you can use according to the necessity.

Oral Anti-Microbial Rinse
Before making you sit on the dental chair, you will have to use an oral pre-rinse for about 30 seconds.

N95 & ASTM Level 3 Masks
Every one of our  back office team will keep our lovely smiles protected behind double-masking during a procedure.

Use Face Shields
It is just not enough with two masks, so we will protect you and ourselves through the use of FDA Approved PET face shields.

Disposable, Protective Coats & Hats
When appropriate, our team will also utilize another layer of protection. This includes hair cover and double gloves, which can help in minimizing the spread or absorption of airborne particles.

HEPA Air Filtration
We have equipped each of our operatory rooms with a High level 4 stage HEPA filter, UV-C light air purifiers, which can kill bacteria, mold, and viruses and make the air clean.

Advanced Aerosol Reduction Tools
We have also utilized special equipment like Rubberdam, Isolite, and HVE system, which can limit aerosols.

Sterilizing Instruments
This is something we do ever since we started our practice. You can trust us and need not worry about anything.

Cleaning After Every Appointment
In each operatory, after every patient, we thoroughly wipe, sanitize, and disinfect all instruments, equipment, and surfaces to make everything super clean.

Deep Cleaning Every Evening
Even though we carry out cleaning and sanitizing during the day, we do a deep cleaning with a thorough top-to-bottom scrub down in the evening.

Advanced Staff Training
We have trained our team members regarding additional awareness and prevention programs to enhance their knowledge and keep them more prepared.

We look forward to seeing you again and happily answer any questions you may have in your mind regarding the steps we have taken to make your visit a safe and secure one. To make an appointment, please call our office at (503) 253-1262.

Sincerely,
Dr. Dowsett and the staff
