For example, once\nyou schedule or the day before your appointment occurs, they\u2019ll want to know if\nyou\u2019ve been exhibiting any symptoms lately that could indicate you are already\nsick, whether it\u2019s from COVID-19 or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019ll ask you if you are experiencing coughing, sneezing\nand shortness of breath, three of the most common symptoms of COVID-19. They\u2019ll\nalso ask you if you have traveled recently to any areas where the virus has\nbeen spreading rapidly and whether you have been spending time around people\nwho currently have COVID-19. All of these factors help determine whether you\nshould have your appointment scheduled now or at a later date. If you do have\nan appointment scheduled, they\u2019ll ask you to not arrive early to avoid having too\nmany people at the practice at any given time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect Upon Arrival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you arrive, you\u2019ll likely find that the dentist will\nask you to wait inside your car and be ready to receive a call or text to your\nphone stating they are ready to see you. When they do call you in, they\u2019ll ask\nyou the same questions they did previously regarding any current symptoms you\nmay be experiencing as well as perform a temperature check to make sure you don\u2019t\nhave a fever. Keep in mind that it\u2019s important to limit the number of people\nyou bring along with you, (especially children.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Dental Appointment Scheduling Will Change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While social distancing is a must for patients in the practice,\nit\u2019s also important to space out dental appointments as businesses continue to\nreopen. Not only does this allow more time for patients to get the dental\nservices they need, but it ensures that the office never becomes overcrowded, which\ncan increase the risk of disease transmission. If office chairs are still\navailable in the waiting room, they\u2019ll be organized so that they are six feet\napart. Magazines and other common items people may touch while in the office\nwill also be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentists care deeply about protecting the safety and health\nof their patients. As you restart your routine appointments, these added\nprotocols are sure to give you more confidence moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Brush Dental<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brushdentist.com\/meet-our-dentists.html\">Dr.\nLam and Dr. Kuan<\/a> are doing everything possible to make sure patients are safe\nfrom disease transmission during their routine dental appointments.
