COVID-19 Update
Our dental team is committed to protecting and supporting our patients’ health throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As you might imagine, we have had to implement some changes in the office to remain compliant with both government and California Dental Association recommended guidelines. What does that mean for you?
Currently, we are open for emergency dental care — we are treating pain, infection, as well as dental issues that put the patient’s health at immediate risk.
We are also upgrading and preparing our office so as to be fully open and operational soon, no matter what is happening with COVID-19.
At this point:
- You can reach with our office by phone, e-mail, and text message (you can also send us images);
- If you’re dealing with a visible dental issue, please send us a picture to Dr. Safapour's emergency cell phone (number available on office voicemails). She can then assess whether immediate care is necessary;
- Our dental offices are now outfitted with updated touchless hand sanitizer dispensers, treatment rooms outfitted with anti-viral and anti-bacterial HEPA filters, and increased sanitization protocols to meet and overcome these new challenges;
- We are doing preliminary screenings of all of our patients by phone or e-mail before they come in to the office;
- We are only seeing one patient at time in the office, to minimize person-to-person contact;
- We have mployed state-of-the-art protective gear for our dental team, so everyone may look a little different!
Our team feels that now more than ever our role as health care providers is critical. We are working hard to best support you, while being mindful of government and California Dental Association recommended guidelines.
If you have a dental emergency, we are open and here to help! Please reach out to us by phone, e-mail, or through our Contact Us page.
We hope you continue to stay safe and healthy, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
