Glen Eira Dental achieved Accreditation Status in 2019
This means that we have voluntarily committed to continuously improve safety and quality for patients by carrying out best practice systems and processes.
To keep you and our staff/dentists safe during the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have elevated our level of precautions taken. This includes:
- The front door is locked to minimize the number of people walking through.
- No patients are waiting in waiting room. We kindly ask our patients to arrive 5 mins prior to their appointment and wait in their car. After we have wiped down and disinfected everything including door handles, the credit card machine, the counter the previous pt may have leaned on, we then call you to come straight into the treatment room.
- We encourage adult patients to attend by themselves and children to attend only with one adult to minimize human traffic.
- We request patients to use hand sanitsers on arrival.
- All our staff are now required to wear masks at all times.
- We also physically distance from each other where ever possible and now have staggered breaks.
- We have installed Medical Grade Air Purifiers with H3 HEPA Filters in each room.
- All patients are carefully screened re:
- Travel history of themselves & family they are in contact with. (In the last 21 days)
- Health history of themselves and any family members they are in contact with should anyone have symptoms of COVID-19 (In the last 21 days)
- In the last 21 days, have they attended any group gatherings with people they don’t usually live with
- Have they been observing the physical-distancing measures
- Have they or people they usually live with been tested for COVID-19
