A Message About COVID-19 and Our Dentistry Operations

The COVID-19 pandemic has been declared a national emergency, and local schools have been closed for the moment. Amidst these uncertain times, we continue to provide patients with excellent dental care while following the necessary safety precautions. Read on to learn more about our action plan. We adjust our policies as new information about COVID-19 precautions comes to light.

Remaining Steadfast to Our Commitment to You

We are dedicated to serving our Galbraith Mountain Pediatric Dentistry family while also taking every necessary precaution to keep our patients safe. During this pandemic, our primary goal is to maintain a COVID-free environment to protect the well-being of our dental team, our patients and their families, and our community as a whole. We ask you to follow the precautionary policies of our dental office to help protect everyone’s health.

Together, we can continue to provide exemplary dental care for patients in a safe, healthy environment. We greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation. And as always, thank you for your trust in our team.

Safety Measures in the Clinic

Our dental office employs strict infection control procedures to clean treatment areas between each patient even before the pandemic. We continue to perform these protocols, such as disinfecting the dental chair, counters, hoses, and dental lights, and sterilizing all instruments.
Before and after every patient encounter, Dr. Chad Galbraith and our staff members wash their hands or use hand sanitizer.
Our office has increased the frequency of disinfection in nontreatment areas. We also disinfect all high-touch surfaces, such as doorknobs, handrails, pens, and restrooms, multiple times a day.
During this time, we are avoiding handshaking and high-fives. We have also removed the toys in our waiting room in the meantime.
At the start of each appointment, we assess the wellness of our patients. Our staff also asks any families displaying signs of illness to reschedule.

COVID-19 Precautions To Follow

Contact our office if you, your child, or any family member experience flu-like symptoms, such as cough or fever. We are more than happy to reschedule your dental appointment.
Upon entering our office, please wash your hands in the toothbrushing area or the restroom. We have a hand sanitizer for you to use as well, but it is in limited supply. After brushing or flossing your teeth, kindly wash your hands once more.
Please arrive no earlier than ten minutes before your scheduled appointment so we can monitor and limit the number of patients in our clinic.
Please consider staying in your car during your child or loved one's dental appointment, especially if the waiting room looks crowded. This is to limit your contact with other people as well as reduce the number of people in the office.

General CDC Guidelines To Prevent the Spread of COVID-19

Clean Your Hands Often

When you have visited a public area or after blowing your nose, sneezing, or coughing, wash your hands with soap and water for around 20 seconds. You can also use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol to clean your hands. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid Close Contact With People

Put distance between yourself, other people, and sick individuals, especially if COVID-19 is spreading in your community. This tip is important for people who are at a higher risk of getting severely ill.

Stay Home If You’re Sick

Except when getting the medical care you need, you should avoid going out of the house if you are feeling unwell.

Cover Coughs And Sneezes

When you sneeze or cough, you should always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow. You must then throw the used tissue in the trash and immediately clean your hands with soap and water or a 60% hand sanitizer.

Wear a Facemask If You’re Sick

For people feeling unwell: You should always wear a facemask when around other people. If you are unable to wear a facemask due to health reasons, you must do your best to cover your coughs and sneezes. Then, the people who are caring for you should wear a facemask if they enter your room.

For people who are not ill: You don't need to wear a facemask unless you are caring for someone who is sick and that person is unable to wear a facemask due to health reasons. Facemasks may be in short supply, so these items should be saved for caregivers to use.

Clean and Disinfect High-Touch Surfaces

It is highly recommended that you sanitize frequently touched places, such as tables, doorknobs, phones, keyboards, toilets, and other surfaces, daily. If surfaces are dirty, then clean them with soap and water before disinfection.
