Is It Safe To See The Dentist During COVID-19? How We’re Protecting Our Patients

In Virginia, dental practices began accepting patients for routine appointments starting on May 1st. But you may be wondering if it’s really safe to see the dentist during COVID-19. How can you be sure that your health is being protected?

In this blog from the office of James A. Burden, DDS & Associates, we’ll discuss just a few of the ways we’re protecting our patients and staff, and ensuring that you can get the dental care you need in Williamsburg, without risking your health.

Enhanced Cleaning & Sanitization Protocols For Safety

We have always followed CDC, OSHA, and ADA guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting our tools, operatories, lobby, and common areas of our office. However, we have implemented even more strict regulations and infection control protocols to ensure that we eliminate the risk of COVID-19 spread. 

Personal Protective Equipment For All Staff

All of our staff members are fully equipped with PPE, which ensures they will not be infected by airborne viruses and other microorganisms. We’re also incorporating other best practices to reduce the risk of virus spread, such as wearing full-body cover-ups and changing uniforms between patients when possible.
