To\nprevent the spread of the virus, new measures have been implemented to ensure\nthe wellbeing of patients. As you continue reading, you\u2019ll discover what your\ndentist in Marion is doing to keep you safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Standards in Place for Your Safety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentists have always been ahead of the curve when it comes\nto preventing the spread of viruses and bacteria, following strict guidelines\nfor cleaning and environment maintenance. However, the unique threat posed by\nCOVID-19 has required dentists to make even more accommodations. The good news\nis that they are up for the challenge. As a result, you can feel secure that\nwhen you visit, your health won\u2019t be in jeopardy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the current protocols that have been\nimplemented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety Champion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Either daily or weekly, a staff member will be designated as\nSafety Champion. His or her job will be to ensure that each person in the\noffice is following the guidelines and standards necessary for maintaining a\nsafe environment and preventing the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Daily Health Checks of Staff<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each day, staff members will have their temperature checked\nand will answer a quick set of questions. This is another way of ensuring that\nwhen you visit, you\u2019ll have a safe experience. That translates into you having\na stress-free visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Change Work Clothes at Work Policy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Team members will change clothes before leaving the office.\nThis is an added means of protection for the surrounding community, and it will\ncontribute to flattening the COVID-19 curve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may notice the staff at your dentist\u2019s office wearing\nthe following PPE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Face shields<\/li><li>Shoe coverings<\/li><li>Front desk masks<\/li><li>Disposable, protective coats and hats<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In-Depth Staff Planning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it\u2019s important for everyone to be on the same page,\nmost practices are holding daily planning meetings. This provides an\nopportunity to keep the entire team up-to-speed with the safety protocols of\nthe office and to discuss any areas where improvements can be made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Safety Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To decrease the chances of any future COVID-19 spikes,\ndentists are working diligently to maintain a clean and virus-free environment.\nYou can trust that when you visit, you\u2019ll be able to relax and receive the care\nyou need from a dentist and staff who have taken every necessary precaution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. James Leon earned his dental degree from West Virginia\nUniversity.
