infection Control
At the Fresh Smile Seattle, we follow and exceed the recommendations of the CDC, OSHA, and WISHA, to offer our patients the most protective environment for all of your dental care. We pride ourselves routinely on extensive ongoing training protocols daily, monthly, quarterly, and annually. With the COVID-Pandemic we have continued our quest to further enhance our daily protocols to provide the highest level of safety for you, our wonderful patient, our staff. We installed UVC lights for each operatories. Medical grade UVC lights are also part of the OSAKA Air aerosol suction system. All bacteria and viruses tested to date (many hundreds over the years, including various coronaviruses) respond to UV-C disinfection.
Engineering & Administrative Control
In addition to our enhanced aerosol protection procedures as described on our website, indoor air quality engineering professional redesigned our entire floor plan to further accommodate social distancing, enhanced our office air filtration system, staggered our appointment scheduling for less concentration of patients and staff in any one area of our office, and reinforced our staff and doctor PPE barriers, all to further enhance the protection of your experience. The future practice of dentistry in a safe environment can be envisioned in our practice. Dr. Zhang and our dedicated staff welcomes you back after "Shelter in Place" to service all of your dental needs. The adversity of the recent global events has led to a deep reflection of the doctors and staff and our need to be stronger and better than ever before for you, our patient.
INTRAORAL SUCTION
Our entire focus in the COVID-19 Pandemic is finding techniques to improve the efficacy in the safety and protection of you, our wonderful dental patient, our staff and doctor.
We'll start using the VacuLUX HVE Adapter with DryShield high-suction evacuator for all of our aerosol producing procedures.It is very comfortable and relaxing for you, as the dental patient, to help stabilize your jaw and let the VacuLux evacuation system do all the work while we are performing our absolute best dental care for you. We reduce all airborne particles, including bacteria, viruses, blood, and saliva to make your dental appointment efficient and absolutely safe. When compared to other dental isolation procedures, like the rubber dam isolation technique used often in root canal procedures, we find the DryShield evacuation system to be very efficient.
