The training involves more than just personal hygiene and equipment. Instead, it also involves necessary steps to keep the practice clean. Here are a few ways your dental team is cleaning the office to keep you and the staff healthy:\n<ol>\n \t<li><strong>Sequenced Patient Scheduling<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nMany dental offices aren\u2019t seeing as many patients. Not only is this influential for social distancing, but it also gives staff more time to clean in between each patient. The clinical areas, instruments, and equipment will be disinfected to create a sterile environment for everyone.\n<ol start=\"2\">\n \t<li><strong>CDC-Approved Instrument Sterilization<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nEven before the COVID-19 pandemic, your dental office used a CDC-approved instrument sterilization system. Rest assured, anything that goes near your mouth has been treated with heat and pressure between every use to kill any harmful pathogens.\n<ol start=\"3\">\n \t<li><strong>HEPA Air Filtration<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nResearch has shown coronavirus can remain in the air for up to 3 hours. You shouldn\u2019t have to worry about the risk of infection when doing something as simple as breathing. Dental offices are using HEPA air filtration systems to clean the air, so you have one less thing to worry about.\n<ol start=\"4\">\n \t<li><strong>No Magazines or Activities<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nAlthough magazines, toys, and other activities can help pass the time while waiting for your appointment, they are the perfect breeding ground for harmful bacteria. As a result, dental offices are removing them. While it may make the wait less exciting, it\u2019s safer for everyone by keeping the office as germ-free as possible.\n<ol start=\"5\">\n \t<li><strong>Personal Protection Equipment<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nCOVID-19 is transmitted from infected particles from the nose, mouth, and throat. Through coughing and sneezing, the infection can be spread to others and surfaces. Your dental team will wear masks and gloves to reduce the risk of contamination. Even if a person isn\u2019t showing any symptoms, they can spread the illness to others. As a result, it\u2019s mandatory for staff to use personal protection to keep themselves and others safe.\n<h2>Choose a Higher Standard of Cleanliness<\/h2>\nIf your routine appointment has been put on hold, you shouldn\u2019t have to worry about your safety when visiting your dentist.
