Covid -19 has introduced the new normal, completely changing the way dental treatments will be practiced across the globe including basil dental. At Basil Dental, we have implemented practical methods in our daily dental practice, a ‘new normal’ for the provision of dental care to effectively offer much-needed care for patients with oral health issues. Due to this third wave of COVID-19 pandemic, there are challenges preventing the safe return to routine delivery of non-emergent care. Up-to-date protocols and physical measures are being implemented to safely resume patient care. This include
Using enhanced infection control procedures-Screening outpatients with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 and checking the temperature
- Wiping often touched surfaces like counters, phones, keyboards, light switches
- Enhanced disinfection practices -proper cleaning and decontamination of examination rooms between patients
- Limiting the number of patients in the waiting room at a given time -ensuring physical distancing in the waiting room
