KEEPING YOU SAFE

Covid-19 Protocol

Wells Endodontics ensures your safety: we practice universal precautions following every recommendation by the ADA and CDC.

OUR SAFETY STANDARDS


Our Doctors + Staff:

  • Conduct daily temperature checks upon starting work. If any team member is experiencing a fever, or isn’t feeling well, they are required to stay home.

  • Wear proper PPE (personal protective equipment) practices: N95 face masks, eye protection/face shields, surgical gloves, clean scrubs/gowns.

  • Use rubber dams for all procedures, to limit risks of exposure. Rubber dams prevent anything from entering your mouth, along with high suction evacuation, to keep the aerosols from leaving the immediate area.

Our Patients:

  • Are screened prior to their appointments to make sure they are feeling well before arriving.

  • Have little interaction with other patients in the reception and operatory areas. The booking process ensures this limitation.

  • Practice social distancing in our office.

  • Can be accompanied by an escort. However, to limit the capacity in the office, all escorts (with the exception of parents with children) are not permitted to wait in the reception area.

Our Office:

  • Is sanitized by using hypochlorous fog on a daily basis. High-traffic surfaces, such as door knobs, countertops, light switches, pens, drawer pulls, etc. are cleaned regularly throughout the day.

  • Utilizes an advanced air purification system that eliminates virtually all contaminants from the air and on surfaces (including bacteria and viruses).

  • Runs weekly spore tests on our sterilizers to make sure they are able to kill the toughest organisms known to medical science. Every instrument goes through a detailed sterilization process of rinsing, ultrasonic rinsing, and heat sterilization in a bag.


The only water we use in our operatories is bottled, distilled water treated with DentaPure® cartridges for biofilm control.  This meets or exceeds all State and Federal water quality guide lines for dental unit water as well as the water quality recommendations of the American Dental Association (ADA), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention (OSAP).
