Dear Patients,

We are so very excited to announce that we are once again able to provide dental services for you, our valuable patients. Perfect-A-Smile Dental will begin scheduling all dental procedures on May 5, 2020.

While things are certainly not “business as usual,” we wanted to let you know we are here for you in our clean, comfortable, safe environment. Our standards are well “above and beyond” what the American Dental Association and Centers for Disease Control recommend. We love what we do and the people who allow us the responsibility to care for their oral health needs. We continue to always be here for you.

Here are a few things we have done to ensure the safety for everyone who comes into our office:

1. All protocols, methods and materials have been reviewed to ensure that we can provide state-of-the-art sterilization, disinfection systems, and office procedures. Every solution, piece of equipment and instrument was examined to ensure safety for our patients and dental team.
2. Continued weekly testing of all three of our autoclave ensures our sterilization systems are effective.
3. Our state-of-the-art air purification systems includes an UV light that kills 99% of bacteria, mold, viruses and reduces airborne particles such as dust, dander, pollen and mold.
4. At the beginning of every appointment, you will be asked to pre-rinse with Peroxyl or Chlorhexidine. These mouth rinses have anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.
5. Team members change into scrubs upon entering the office, so there is no transmission of anything from the outside world into our office.
6. We continue to use CaviCide 1 throughout our office after each patient. CaviCide 1 has FDA approval and is trusted by leading infection control experts as the most powerful sanitizing agent available for eliminating germs, bacteria, and viruses.
7. During your previous treatment visits you probably observed our use of High Volume Evacuation [HVE] during many operative procedures. This is done to limit the aerosols being produced when using the high speed drills which produce aerosols with the water and air sprays. Being concerned for the aerosols produced with some procedures during your hygiene visits, we have initiated the use of HVE and if needed, an assistant during your dental health visit.

This high level of service is just one of the many ways that we are supporting our family of patients, and it is included in the excellent service that we provide. We go through a comprehensive disinfection after every patient.

The following question below need to be asked and recorded:

1. Have you been in contact with someone who is sick?

*If you answer “No” we can schedule a dental visit for you.

The doctors and all team members here at Perfect-A-Smile Dental will continue to go above and beyond for our patients; it is second nature. For this and many reasons, many of our patients have trusted their care with us for 45 years.

We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends,

Respectfully,

The Team at Perfect-A-Smile Dental
