COVID-19 Protocols

Our staff wear KN95/N95 face masks and face shields when there is the potential for aerosol generation.  

Our office is equipped with multiple HEPA filtration air purifier units. 

All patients must gargle with Peroxyl (a hydrogen peroxide-based mouth rinse) prior to treatment. Studies have shown that this mouthwash can disrupt the SARS-CoV2 virus. 

Per the CDC and Washington State Department of Health, a person who tests positive for COVID must remain home for 5 days following a positive test, and wear a well fitting mask when out in public through at least day 10, or after a negative test, whichever happens sooner.
