Businesses and offices have been closed for weeks, and everyday tasks have become more challenging with the threat of infection still present. Now everyone has to figure out a \u201cnew normal\u201d moving forward, and your dentist in Lincoln is no different. As a result, you may be wondering how your dental visits may change\u2014read on to learn what you can expect when you come to the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prescreening Before the Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even before you set foot in your dental office, a team member will call you to ask whether you\u2019ve experienced any unusual symptoms. This questionnaire will be repeated once you\u2019re in the office to make sure nothing has changed since the phone call. When you arrive, they will take your temperature using a touchless, infra-red thermometers. These seemingly small steps do not just protect the dental team but all other patients who come in and reduce everyone\u2019s exposure to the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning the Air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>COVID-19 is spread from person to person through droplets in the air, these germs can get on your hands and come into contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth and enter your system. That\u2019s why controlling air particles is more important than ever. Some offices have integrated medical grade air purifiers in every office to capture germy particles in the air. They also have high filtered HVAC filters to take care of any potential aerosols that may be infectious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Providing Extra Protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re used to seeing your dentist with a mask and gloves, but the team is taking other precautions. Clear plastic guards stand between patients and our front desk staff, blocking possible transfer. For team members who will perform your dental work, you may also notice additional protective equipment, such as headwear, extra masks, clear face shields, gloves, and more. These items not only help the dentist and the team avoid germs from the patient but also protect the patient from potential infection from the dental staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sanitizing All Surfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although creating a clean, safe environment has always been a priority for your dental team, this has become even more important since the pandemic. Instead of sanitizing surfaces on a daily basis, the dental team takes the time to do so between each patient to limit cross contamination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all these measures in place, you don\u2019t have to worry about whether you\u2019re visiting a safe dentist in Lincoln. Dental work doesn\u2019t have to increase your risk of infection, and you feel confident leaving the office. You can visit their office knowing that your smile\u2014and your health\u2014are in capable hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Williamsburg Dental has six locations throughout the Lincoln area and eight dentists on staff.
