Updated Policies and Procedures
Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. We follow recommendations by the American Dental Association (ADA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to ensure we are up-to-date with any new rulings and/or guidance.
As such, we ask that you comply with our updated safety procedures to ensure we are all protected from COVID-19:
- To maintain social distancing efforts, our waiting room will be closed until further notice. Upon your arrival, call (770) 304-0034, to let us know that you have arrived. Please remain in your vehicle while waiting for your appointment, until you are told by office personnel that you may enter.
- Prior to your visit, you will be screened for any possible COVID-19 symptoms. All necessary paperwork must be completed prior to your in-office visit. In addition, your temperature will be taken using a forehead or ear scanner at the time of your visit to confirm that there is no fever. Please note that based on the results of your screening and forehead/ear scan, your appointment may have to be rescheduled.
- Please avoid bringing small children or other guests to your visit when possible. To mitigate the risk of COVID-19, we are remaining mindful of the number of people we have in the office at a time.
- Our entire staff will be equipped with protective gear such as face masks, hand gloves, and protective gowns. In addition, our clinical staff is equipped with additional gear to use while servicing your dental needs.
- If you need to cancel your appointment due to suspected illness, all cancellation fees will be waived.
- If you begin to experience COVID-19 symptoms after you’ve visited our office, please call to inform us.
We understand that these updated policies and procedures will have to be an adjustment. However, we’re here to assist with any questions and/or concerns you may have.
If you have any questions, call Amazing Smiles Family Dentistry at (770) 304-0034.
As another step to ensure we’re doing our part to keep you safe, our entire staff has completed ADA certified continuing education training for: COVID-19 and the Dental Practice and Infection Control for Dental Technology Equipment. The purpose of this training is to ensure that our staff has an in-depth understanding of the COVID-19 virus, with an emphasis on precautions to take in the dental field.
