Ignoring dental treatment due to the COVID-19 pandemic is increasingly common among people. Don’t worry! Here at Lakshme Dental Hospital, safety is our utmost priority. We are uncompromised by following the dental protocols of infection control prevention and screening measures whenever our patients visit our clinic, which makes them ease of mind.
Initially, we guide our patients by the following safety measures:
- Taking and recording temperatures of each patient before entering the clinic. In case the patient’s temperature is above the acceptable range or found symptomatic, they will be rescheduled to later dates.
- Involving everyone to wear a facemask before entering the office.
- Guiding patients to hand-washing stations and making them clean their hands with sanitizers.
- Guiding people to wait in the waiting room with proper social distancing methods when not taking dental treatment.
- Hospital is completely sanitizing for every 4 hours
- All doctors and staffs wearing PPE suit for more safety of our patients
- Apart from this, staff members are screened before each shift to make sure their health is on normal before treating patients.
At all times, each medical staff and doctors wears a fresh Personal Protective Equipment(PPE)and other protective gear every day to ensure patients are getting the safest treatment without any trouble.
Besides, our clinic is equipped with the following safety devices:
Extra oral suction/aerosol trapping device
This device prevents virus, dust, blood, and other substances from spreading in dental procedures like dental laser, electrosurgery procedures, and high-speed drilling. The Hepa filtration system presents in this device traps germs and virus particles with 99.97% efficiency.
UVC disinfection
The short wavelength with high energy UVC light is captivated in the cellular DNA and RNA, damages nucleic acids and prevents microorganisms from infecting and replicating. In simple words, it deactivates the function of microorganisms that causes infection. This device plays a vital role in our protection strategy, with a success rate of 99%.
