Covid-19 Announcement by Holistic Dentistry NJ- Dr. Philip E. Memoli
Dear Patients and Friends,
We hope you and your family are in good
health. As a result of the COVID Crisis,
we are implementing a combination of infection control recommendations made by OSHA
(Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the CDC (The Center for
Disease Control) and the ADA (American Dental Association.
The following is a summary of these recommendations:
1.)
Pre-Appointment screening: we are required to ask questions related to fever, shortness of
breath, cough, flu-like symptoms (headache, fatigue and GI upset or diarrhea),
loss of taste or smell, systemic disease (heart, lung, kidney, diabetes or
autoimmune) and recent travel to a COVID infected region (NY or NJ or out of the
country).
2.)
Office arrival: upon arrival you may call the front desk (908)464-9144) (Note: Due
to a shortage of employees an outside person is answering and may not pick up. You may enter the waiting room and advise us
you are waiting in your car. Give us your
cell number and we will call you when your room is ready. Most patients in the
waiting room will be put in their respective treatment room.
3.)
Patient comfort levels:
A.
If you feel you are high risk
for infection or have extreme anxiety (over COVID), we request you delay your
appointment until the risk decreases.
B.
The office stocks all approved
anti-COVID sanitizers and room disinfectants.
C.
Additional office and room
disinfection
1.water particulate and disinfection units recently installed in all
dental units.
2. Flushing of all dental water lines by a professional company with
daily maintenance.
3. Minimal use of dental sprays (especially during hygiene
appointments)
4. A dental device that isolates the tooth to prevent aerosolization
instead of collecting the aerosol
after it forms.
Remember: the aerosol is more dangerous to the doctor and
staff-these are your organisms. (not ours!).
D.
Please be advised that over 150
viruses are constantly circulating on the planet. The CDC has acknowledged most viruses only
survive for 15 seconds outside of the body.
Our staff and our patients are
being screened and pre-screened before entering the office.
