Our digital X-rays are completely safe, thanks to a paralleling X-ray technique using long-cone paralleling combined with the newest DEXIS Platinum Digital X-ray System. In fact, the radiation received from a complete X-ray series of 16 films at our office is only equal to what you would get during a week at home from normal background radiation (not counting what comes from higher-radiation sources such as television, microwave, computer terminals, laptops, cellphones, etc.).
To Our Patients,
We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about Coronavirus in public places… even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.
As you may know because of my background and Masters degree in Bacteriology/Virology, Wilton Dental Associates has always emphasized sterilization and all aspects of antibacterial/antiviral procedure in our office. Our antibacterial periodontal preventive care and phase microscope have been an extension of this.
I want to assure you that our office has even further heightened our already rigid sterilization safeguards and office cleaning standards to minimize the possibility of transmission to our outstanding team…or to you, our valued patient. We have always far exceeded all standards for sterilization and patient care. In addition our facility/building itself will be disinfected from top to bottom every day including outside and inside door handles, elevator, stair rails, bathrooms, etc.
Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.
Your dental health remains important to us as it plays such an important role in your overall health.
When you visit our office, you’ll see we’ve taken all the necessary steps to ensure you have the best patient experience possible. If you are experiencing any symptoms, please do not come to our office and call us to reschedule your appointment. We care for you and all our patients. If we see any symptoms in our patients or our team, we will reschedule the appointment on the spot and send that individual home.
It is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you…and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.
I will be available 24/7 for any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Dr. A. Vandiveer Strait, DDS, FAGD
