Dental Care at Kingston West Dental Centre during COVID-19
We are taking extensive precautionary measures to ensure the safety of our patients and staff that we have outlined below.
First, we are fully compliant with infection control procedures set by the RCDSO, the CDHO as well as health regulations set by the Ministry of Health and Public Health Ontario.
We have also changed our appointment procedures and taken other safety measures to provide a safe dental appointment. These include;
- Patients will be required to complete the COVID-19 screening questions within 2 days before an appointment. Please provide us with the results following completion of your screening you can simply email, text or call the clinic and indicate if the screening results were negative or positive.
- Patients and visitors will be screened again at the clinic upon arrival for each appointment. We will be using the the following screening guidance. www.kflaph.ca/en/healthy-living/resources/Infection-Prevention-and-Control/Coronavirus/COVID-19-Vaccination-Clinic-Appointment-Screening-Questions.pdf
- Magazines, children’s toys, and other items that are difficult to disinfect will be removed from waiting areas.
