COVID-19 Update from Milner Dental Care in Scarborough, ON

At Milner Dental Care General and Sleep Dentistry, we've embraced a modern approach to ensure the safety and well-being of our patients and staff in light of the ongoing pandemic. 

Here are the contemporary measures we've implemented in our office to create a secure environment:

• Reimagined Reception Area: We've redesigned our reception area to facilitate minimal contact space, adhering to social distancing guidelines.

• Streamlined Spaces: Non-essential items have been thoughtfully removed from our office, reception area, and operatories for a sleek and modern atmosphere.

• Enhanced Protection: Key contact points in the reception area now feature Plexiglass sneeze guard shields, acting as physical barriers to enhance safety.

• Informative Signage: We've strategically placed signage throughout common areas and the reception area, offering guidance on hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette, physical distancing, and recognizing symptoms of COVID-19.

• Air Purity: Employing a state-of-the-art 3-stage Hyper HEPA filter air purifier (IQ Air) ensures continuous air purification within the office.

• Sanitization Stations: Hand sanitization stations are readily available for patients upon entering and leaving the office.

• Antiviral Rinse: Before appointments, patients are provided with a 1% hydrogen peroxide or 1% providone-iodine anti-viral mouth rinse as an additional precaution.

• PPE Standards: Our staff is equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) tailored to specific settings and procedures.

• Aerosol Reduction: Operatories have been sealed to minimize aerosol transmission, and our chairside 5-stage DuraMax extraoral suction system effectively evacuates aerosols during procedures.

• Regular Sterilization: To maintain a pristine environment, we are committed to sterilizing our office every two hours, with operatories undergoing thorough sterilization after each procedure.

Your safety is our priority, and we remain dedicated to providing exceptional dental care in this evolving landscape.
