COVID-19 has caused uproar over just about everything you can think of. These days, because of the pandemic, we are stuck questioning our comfort and safety doing a wide variety of things that we normally wouldn’t even think twice about.  Unfortunately, but undoubtedly, attending routine health care visits have been some of the top concerns for many questioning areas for safety.  Among all health care facilities, finding a safe dentist during COVID-19, is a large concern.

One should never have to face the choice between oral health care and their immediate well-being. However, we all know it’s impossible to wear a mask and have dental work done simultaneously. With that being said, we recognize and understand all the concerns this brings to our patients and staff.  This is why we took immediate action to guarantee your safety and comfortability at our office. Prior to our reopening back in May, we put in new protocols and an entirely new HVAC/Ventilation system in our office.

State-Of-The-Art Air Purification System

Here, at Shorewood Family Dental Care, you can rest assure that you have found a safe dentist during COVID-19. You may be thinking, “everywhere I go these days there are new protocols in place, what makes your office so different?” What sets us aside from everywhere else, is not only our incredible staff that is dedicated to following all updated protocols, but our negative pressure air flow system, and our new Sanuvox Quattro system.

Our negative pressure airflow system removes up to 483 cubic feet per minute in each of our operatories. (For reference, a standard bathroom exhaust fan can remove about 50-110 cubic feet per minute). This means with our new air flow system all of the air in each operatory can be completely removed in 1 minute. The air taken out is then filtered through our new Sanuvox Quattro system to kill all bio-contaminants. The Sanuvox Quattro system kills 99.99% of bio-contaminants in the air. It has a special UVC light, which the air filters through. This light is the only UV radiation that is successful as a disinfectant and killing viruses.

Additional Safety Measures

In addition, we also recognize the close proximity we have with our patients, so to ensure maximum safety for both parties we have also added face shields over our masks and protective eyewear. We always have, and continue to have our scrubs sent out for laundering, and wearing surgical scrub caps during certain procedures.
