Important Information Regarding COVID-19
In recognition of ongoing news reports and the continued spread of the COVID-19 virus, we realize our patients have questions. As dedicated health care professionals, we want you to know that we remain as diligent as ever in protecting the health and safety of our patients and staff. Our practice strictly adheres to and exceeds the standards for infection control by wearing personal protective gear, using hospital-grade disinfectants, practicing the latest sterilization protocols, utilizing single-use disposable materials, and more. Every effort we have in place is to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. We want you to know that we are monitoring this situation very closely, and we will keep you updated regularly.
In addition, here at Austin Center for Endodontics all parties including employees and patients must use hand sanitizer when entering the office. Only the scheduled patient (if over 18) can come to the appointment: any accompanying parties must wait outside our door or in their car. We have removed our coffee machine, water bottles, and magazines from the waiting area. Water is available to patients as needed in the treatment room. All patients upon entering the treatment room will be given a 2 ounce rinse to swish and spit in the operatory sink. We thank you for your compliance in protocol changes as we learn more about COVID-19.
