While many things\nhave changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and\nyou may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control\nprocesses are made so that when you receive care, it\u2019s\nboth safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control\nprocedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our office follows infection\ncontrol recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the\nU.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational\nSafety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these\nagencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be\nissued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are\ncurrent and adhere to each\nagencies\u2019 recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We\nmade these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Our office will communicate with you beforehand\nto ask some screening questions. You\u2019ll be asked those same questions again\nwhen you are in the office.<\/li><li>We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to\nuse when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area\nand other places in the office for you to use as needed.<\/li><li>You may see that our waiting room will no longer\noffer magazines, children\u2019s toys and\nso forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect. <\/li><li>Appointments will be managed to allow for social\ndistancing between patients. That might mean that you\u2019re\noffered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.<\/li><li>We will do our best to allow greater time\nbetween patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the\nnumber of patients in the reception area at any one time. We may also ask that\nyou wait in your car and text us (if your phone has texting capabilities) when\nyou arrive for your dental appointment.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any\nquestions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient,\nsafe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at 513-677-1349 or visit our website at www.geromeandpatricedds.com. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for being our patient.
