Times have changed as we work together to combat the spread of COVID-19. As we adapt to a new form of normalcy, your pediatric dentist in Northampton is reopening their doors; however, it\u2019s normal to be concerned about your child\u2019s safety. Don\u2019t worry, our office has implemented new standards to keep them healthy. As a result, things will look a bit different when you come back to the office. Here\u2019s what you can expect during your child\u2019s first visit to the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Before the Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Communication between your family and our office is essential to keeping everyone healthy. Before entering our office, we will ask you to answer a few simple screening questions, which are provided to electronically. We\u2019ll ask you to sign a consent form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before your arrival to our office, we\u2019ve properly cleaned and disinfected it to remove harmful pathogens. When you arrive, we ask you to please call our office from the parking lot to let us know you\u2019re ready for your child\u2019s appointment. We\u2019ll repeat the previous screening and ask you to use hand sanitizer before escorting your child back to the clinical area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve limited the number of patients we see each day to maintain social distancing while your family is in our office. Our entire team will be wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment, including masks and gloves. As you walk through the office, you\u2019ll also notice we\u2019ve removed magazines and toys. Although this might make the wait less exciting, it helps prevent spreading viruses and illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll notice our chairs have larger spaces between them to promote social distancing. We will perform your child\u2019s cleaning, checkup, or treatment before allowing them to choose a prize from a \u201cmenu.\u201d A member of our team will give them their selection before it\u2019s time to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our new safety protocols don\u2019t end after you leave the office. Instead, our team is hard at work cleaning and disinfecting to prepare for the next patient. We\u2019ll sterilize all instruments and operatory surfaces. Our goal is to ensure our office is the safest and cleanest place you and your visit all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Higher Standard for Safety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental offices are known for their cleanliness. We\u2019ve raised the bar to ensure our office is germ-free to promote your child\u2019s safety during their visit. We\u2019ve implemented new safety standards<\/a> recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Dental Association to stop the spread for COVID-19. You can rest assured, your child is in good hands while they receive the care they need for a healthy smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
