COVID-19 Guidelines

We understand that you are eager to get back to caring for your dental health and we would like to share what can you expect when you walk through the doors of our offices. We have worked very hard to follow all guidelines set out by the American Dental Association, Ohio Dental Association, Center for Disease Control and the Ohio Department of Health to ensure that we have taken the proper safety precautions for you and our team members.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe for me to come to your office?

DDC Endodontics is following the guidelines, mandates, and recommendations for the governing bodies of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), The American Dental Association (ADA), and the Ohio Dental Association (ODA). Currently, DDC Endodontics is meeting and/or exceeding all governing bodies stipulations on cleanliness and sterilization. In addition, all team members and all patients are screened daily to ensure that every individual entering the office does not exhibit any of the symptoms related to COVID-19.

Will my visit be any different than normal?

In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, DDC Endodontics is taking extra steps to protect the health and well being of our patients and team members alike. All patients will be immediately asked to sanitize their hands upon entering the office. At check-in, each patient will be asked a series of screening questions. If any of the screening questions are not answered appropriately, then the appointment will be rescheduled.

Will I need to wear a mask for my appointment or any special Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)?

We are recommending that patients wear a face mask into our offices and only remove it during their dental procedures. All other PPE items are at the comfort of the patient.

What additional cleaning and/or sterilization methods is DDC Endodontics adopting?

DDC Endodontics has always prioritized the best sterilization and cleaning methods of our equipment, instruments, and materials. Prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic, DDC Endodontics was already meeting and exceeding all OHSHA, CDC, ADA, and ODA sterilization and cleaning requirements during this COVID-19 Pandemic. We are continuing our sterilization and cleaning processes with additional, non-required, intermittent sterilization of all surfaces, equipment, and materials.
