Our office is open now (5/19/2020) after the State of Washington has determined that dental offices can again provide usual dental services to patients. We have seen dental emergency patients periodically during this two month shutdown. We do ask that patients come into the dental reception area with a protective mask on, and to come alone when at all possible. A health screening questionnaire will be given and use of our hand sanitizer expected. Office staff will all be in appropriate levels of personal protective gear depending on whether front or back office staff. The protective gear we will use may include face shields and N95 masks depending on procedures and exposure level of our personnel. Universal precautions have always been in effect for infection control in our dental clinic, and will be supplemented by the COVID related health screening, temperature check, and reception area will receive additional disinfection. We will limit patients in waiting area, and space people apart.
Thank you for your patience with our mandatory shutdown to routine dental care and additional time needed with precautions.
It is of utmost importance to us that all patients and our staff are in a safe environment.
Joseph Hanrahan, DDS
