ENHANCED SAFETY MEASURES AT WOODMILL DENTAL

The safety of our patients and staff is our greatest priority at Woodmill Dental.  Our office has always gone beyond the required infection control protocols and universal precautions.  Given these extraordinary times, we have conducted significant research to implement the latest advances currently known to combat the spread of the COVID-19 disease.  Some of these include:


SOCIAL DISTANCING 

All appointments are made via phone, e-mail, text, Facebook or Google messages.  

Please contact the office from the parking lot when arriving.  We ask that you wait in your vehicle while our facility is prepared for you.

New protocols have been implemented including:

  • a brief questionnaire

  • forehead temperature reading taken

We are now limiting the number of patients we see each day to allow adequate time in between appointments to thoroughly disinfect the areas in our office including the reception areas, restroom, and treatment rooms.  This is also to help maintain social distancing for each patient’s safety.

Please download our instructional guide that will prepare you for your office visit:

Please print the required questionnaire which can be found below and bring it with you to your visit.

AIR PURIFIERS WITH HEPA FILTRATION

Medify MA-25 Air Purifiers have been placed in each of our treatment rooms and the reception area. 

Each unit is equipped with Medical Grade Filtration H13 True HEPA capable of capturing 99.9% of particles down to 0.1 microns.  These units allow the air in the rooms to be cleaned every 15-30 minutes.

 
 



AEROSOL REDUCTION

 
 

Our office is utilizing Isolite handpieces and rubber dams for dental procedures to help reduce aerosols and protect the safety of patients and staff.  The Isolite mouthpieces aid in:

Protecting the airway of the patient

Providing something soft to bite on to relax the jaw

Continuously removing saliva and reduce aerosols

 
 

Each patient will also be asked to pre-rinse with a safe peroxide solution prior to procedures.



DISINFECTION

We are now sanitizing all areas of the office throughout the day with a safe disinfectant called electrolyzed water hypochlorous acid.  Electrolyzed Water Hypochlorous Acid is a widely-used disinfectant in numerous industries including restaurants, supermarkets, produce and other food processing facilities, and hotels.  It is non-toxic, eco-friendly and highly effective at eliminating many dangerous pathogens in the air and surfaces.

 
 

We are very excited to be seeing all of you again soon and look forward to addressing all of your dental needs.  Please feel free to call the office at (302) 998-8588 or email us at john@woodmilldental.com if you have any questions or concerns.
