What to Expect When Your Dentist’s Office Reopens

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed a lot of aspects of daily life, including regu lar visits to the dentist.

Now that some states are reopening, many den tal practices are beginning to see patients for non-emergency appoint ments. To help protect patients and staff alike, the American Dental As sociation (ADA) has developed science-based guidance for dentists on extra steps they can take, in addition to the infec tion control procedures they’ve always followed. With this guidance in mind, here’s what you can expect at your next appointment.

Before Your Appoint ment

To help make sure that patients arriving for their appointments are healthy, your dental office may call you before your ap pointment and ask you some questions about your current health. They may also repeat these questions when you arrive to make sure nothing has changed.

Your dentist’s office staff may also ask that you limit the number of people you bring to the appoint ment. That could mean leaving your children at home or allowing older children to go into the of fice alone while parents wait outside during their appointment.

At Your Appointment

If your state or city is requiring people to wear masks in public, be sure to wear one to your appoint ment. When you arrive at (Statepoint)

This is to reduce the num ber of people in the office and reduce the amount of time you’re close to others. When you enter the office, you may have your tem perature taken.

Inside the office, you may notice that items people often touch in the waiting room -- like toys or magazines -- have been removed. The office may have hand sanitizer avail able for you to use and staff may wipe down items you touch, such as pens, clipboards or furniture.

When you’re in the dental chair, you may no tice some things look different from the last time you were there. The den tist may have covered the computer keyboard with a disposable cover so it can be easily cleaned between patients, for example. Your dentist may also be using different protective equip ment than used at previous appointments. This could include different masks, face shields, gowns and goggles. These additional precautions help protect both you and the dentist.

After Your Appoint ment

After your appoint ment, the staff will prepare for the next patient by thoroughly cleaning the areas where you’ve been with disinfectants effective against the virus that caus es COVID-19. This helps reduce the risk of illness being passed to others.

If you start feeling ill with the symptoms of COVID-19 within 14 days of your appointment, call the dental office. You may have already been carry ing the virus at the time of your appointment, so any one who came into contact with you could be at risk for getting sick too.

Remember, regular dental visits are an es sential part of your oral hygiene routine and are important for your overall heath. Be sure to resched ule your dental checkups once your local authorities allow dental practices to reopen. Your ADA dentist will make sure your visit is as safe as possible for ev eryone involved.
