SOCIAL DISTANCING MEASURES AT ANCHOR DENTAL

• Eliminating sign-in sheets. Patients check-in at the desk and can wait in their car, receiving a text when it’s time for their appointment. 
• Online Patient Forms instead of Paper forms
• Limiting chairs and seating in waiting rooms. 
• When necessary, patients’ family and support networks can assist with appointment arrivals. After check-in, individual not receiving treatment should wait outside the office. 
• Removing unnecessary objects or items like magazines and books from waiting rooms and treatment areas. 

SAFE HYGIENE PRACTICES

• Per the CDC guidelines, wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol content) if soap and water are not available. Patients are encouraged to use a hand sanitizer during office visits.  
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. 
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
