COVID-19 Updates

Updated Feb 14, 2022

Dr. Michelle Hedgecock, DDS and her team are taking all necessary precautions to keep you safe, and then some! What are we doing? See below:

• REME Halo in- duct air purifiers installed in the HVAC units.  This is effective against bacteria, viruses, molds and dust
• Each treatment room is outfitted with a Medify medical grade filtration air purifier
• Reduction of aerosols during dental procedures that require the high-speed handpiece utilizing the IsoDry system or the rubber dam when possible, use of high volume evacuator at all times
• Use of high-volume evacuator (HVE suction) when cavitron use is required for cleanings in order to minimize aerosol production
• Pre-treatment rinse with antiviral/ antibacterial mouth rinse to minimize pathogen levels in the oral cavity
• Patients have the choice to wait in their car in lieu of the reception area until appointment time.
• Upon arrival patients will be screened to ensure they are symptom free and have not had any known exposure to COVID
• Staff will follow CDC guidelines for personal protective equipment
• Door handles and countertops will be disinfected throughout the day
