Seeing the dentist every six months is crucial for stopping cavities and gum disease, which is why it’s important that you feel safe bringing your child to Dr. Linda’s dental office on a regular basis. Dental patient safety has always been one of our top priorities, and that’s even more true now. Below is a list of steps that our staff has taken to maintain a safe dental office environment.

Each member of our team has completed additional awareness and prevention programs to enhance their knowledge and preparedness.
Each day, one person will be designated to guide our Commitment to Safety. This includes greeting patients, answering questions, ensuring social distancing, and overall monitoring.
In addition to brushing and flossing before your visit, we will provide an Oracare solution to rinse in your mouth for 60 seconds and reduce bacteria.
While you are welcome to wait in our dental office, if you are more comfortable waiting in your car we can give you a call to let you know when your child is ready.
Minimizing cross-contamination is an important part of our plan. We will ask you to dispose of any outside gloves before you enter.
We are super clean as we thoroughly wipe, sanitize, and disinfect all instruments, equipment and surfaces in each operatory after every patient.
This is standard procedure at all times, and nothing has changed. Anything that goes near your mouth is heat and pressure cleaned between every use.
Two masks are not enough. Our clinical team will also protect you and themselves through the use of FDA Approved PET face shields.
When appropriate, our team will utilize another layer of protection to minimize the spread or absorption of airborne particles.
Whenever possible, we will activate high speed evacuation to minimize aerosol contamination and improve air quality.
Our air has never been cleaner. We have added HEPA-grade filters to our HVAC system along with stand-alone air cleaners in each operatory.
