SAFETY EQUIPMENT

During the time when the world is facing the Global Pandemic, nobody wants to venture out of their safety zone. The world will change, and we need to gear up and fight.

One way to do is ensuring we are in safest environment and that is exactly what SmileOn Dental will provide you with. Out of all the healthcare services dentistry is the one where the Doctor is in closest contact with the patient.

So, here’s the enhanced list of safety measures SMILE ON Dental has adopted for combatting Covid-19 to ensure 100% sterile and safe environment for our Patients, Doctors & Staff.

Disposable Gloves

Hands are properly washed, sanitized and dried before donning gloves .Firstly a pair of polythene glove is worn followed by a pair of latex gloves for every patient. Gloves are even changed if they appear to be contaminated during the treatment.

Face Masks

They work as protective shields and prevents splatters and aerosols from getting into contact with the mucous membranes of the nose and mouth.  3 ply Surgical Masks are used . Even the patients are given face masks in case they are not carrying their own.

Protective Eyewear

Protective eyewear is worn by doctors whenever there is a possibility that a patient’s body fluids may splash or spray onto the face/eyes or an aerosol is being formed. Protective Eyewear is sanitised/sterilised after every use.

Face Shields

Face shields are used in conjunction with the face masks and provide extra protection from the spread of aerosol if any. Face Shields are also sanitised/sterilised after every use.

Protective Clothing

Protective clothing such as Scrubs prevent contamination of underlying clothing and protects from exposure to blood and body substances. Scrubs are worn by all Doctors throughout the day. They are then washed later in the evening.

Surgical Coverall/Gowns

Gowns are critical elements of the PPE since they are the second- most-used piece of PPE, following gloves. No dental procedure is taken up without donning the surgical gown.

Disposable Caps

Worn by Doctors and Dental Assistants throughout the day covering every inch of their hair. These are used in keeping aerosols from lodging on the hair, which may then be transferred to family members or onto inanimate objects.
