The New Procedures

We are following the direction of our colleges (The College of Alberta Denturist and The College of Dental Technologist of Alberta) Of course we have always followed the code for disease control and prevention for public health, but here are some of the extra steps we are taking during the pandemic:

  • Wear surgical masks at all times, and in all areas of the clinic.
  • Wear a face shield while in the op with patients. Which has translated to wearing it at all times. The face shield is disinfected after each patient.
  • All pens, clip boars and other items/surfaces one patient has come into contact with are to be disinfected after each use, ready for the next patient.
  • When taking a break the mask is disposed of and hand hygiene is to be performed. We are to maintain social distancing while applying a new mask before returning back to work.

We have always followed the correct procedures as health care workers. If you would like more information about infection prevention and control (IPC) visit the Alberta Health Website.

What We Suggest For You.

  • There are new forms to be filled out every visit.
  • We have an in-ear thermometer to take the temperature of each patient.
  • Please maintain social distancing with other patients you are sharing the clinic with.
