Follow link above to see recommendations set forth from the American Association of Endodontists
Dear Patients,
We wanted to inform you that our team is taking every necessary measure to insure that both you and our employees are protected during this trying time.
At Hugh Endodontics we have and will always follow strict OSHA protocol. This protocol includes wearing all Personal Protective Equipment, disinfecting all surfaces between patients, hand washing between every patient and heat/steam sterilization of al dental equipment.
The following are additional measure we will be taking as recommended by the American Dental Association:
-Screening all patients for elevated temperature, travel history and contact with anyone experiencing any flu like symptoms.
- We will also practice ”social distancing” by asking all our patients to remain in their vehicles while waiting for treatment. Once you have checked in with the front desk you can return to your vehicle and our front desk will alert you when we are ready to begin treatment.
We will continue to monitor both the CDC and ADA as this continues to unfold and will implement any other recommended protective measures.
Thank you and we appreciate each and every one of you during this difficult time.
