COVID-19 Response

To Our Patients, While you’ve been social distancing at home, the team at O2 Dental Group of Southern Pines has been working hard to ensure the long-term safety of our patients and staff members! Here are some of the changes we’ve made to protect your family’s health: PRE-SCREENING OF ALL STAFF AND PATIENTS Prior to entering the facility, everyone will be prescreened with a no-touch thermometer. CLOSED WAITING AREA Our waiting room area is closed. All patients are asked to wait in their cars after they check-in for their appointment. SEQUENCED PATIENT SCHEDULING A limited number of daily appointments that last longer than the typical appointment time. This is to ensure the number of people in the building is limited at any given time. LIMITED OFFICE CAPACITY Only the patient will be allowed in the building during their appointment. If the patient is a minor, only one parent or legal guardian is allowed in the building to accompany the patient. FACE SHIELDS To protect our patients from cross-contamination, our staff members will be equipped with face shields. SNEEZE GUARDS AT THE FRONT DESK AREA We know we're all wearing masks, but an added layer of protection never hurts! CLEANING AFTER EACH APPOINTMENT We will be using an aerosol disinfectant spray to sanitize each room after use and strictly adhering to the CDC's recommended sanitation guidelines. PRE-PROCEDURAL ANTI-MICROBIAL RINSE Each patient will be asked to "swish" with an anti-microbial rinse prior to their procedure to kill any harmful bacteria. NO HANDSHAKES OR HUGS We love our patients, but for now, we'll stick to waving hello and goodbye! EVENING DEEP CLEANING We've heightened all of our cleaning protocols and ensuring that the offices are scrubbed top to bottom at the end of each business day. KN95 & ASTM LEVEL 3 MASKS All of our dentists, hygienists, and assistants will be smiling behind their KN95 and ASTM Level 3 masks at all times. NO MAGAZINES, ACTIVITIES, KIDS PLAY AREA, OR ACCESS TO THE BEVERAGE STATION We're sorry to take away the fun in the reception area, but we want to ensure your safety no matter where you are in the office! Call us today to schedule your dental appointment. O2 Dental Group of Southern Pines is ready to take care of you and your family once again. Thank you for trusting us with your smile! Sincerely, O2 Dental Group
