With the recent news and public impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19), our dental team wanted to share some of the protocols we have in place to protect your health and wellness at your dental visit.
As part of your health care team, we are monitoring changes and updated guidelines set forth by the Australian Department of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO) in our practice, interactions, and work environment to ensure patient and team safety. Since information is updated regularly, we recommend checking the latest recommendations.
Your number one line of safety is an educated and dedicated dental team. We have met with our entire staff to discuss protocols for keeping ourselves and patients safe, including symptoms to look for and what to do in the event of exposure.
Please contact us right away if any of the following conditions apply:
We are happy to rearrange bookings for patients who feel unwell or suspect they may have COVID-19.
Practising common sense caution can help slow the spread of coronavirus. Here are some vital actions you can take, recommended by the WHO.
If you have recently found disinfectants unavailable due to the demand for these products, you can make your own solution at home using 1/3 cup of bleach per gallon of water. Never mix bleach with any other types of cleaners or ammonia. You can also use alcohol solutions at 70% alcohol or higher.
If you have any questions or concerns about coronavirus, the action we are taking, or if you should come in for your dental appointment, we welcome you to call our clinic.
For now, we are still open Monday to Friday however will be reducing our hours on certain days. We may also do some follow-up appointments offsite.
If you are searching for a privately owned dental clinic in Korumburra or Inverloch, we welcome you contact Avid Dental, the general and family dental practices of Dr Sean How and Dr Shal Main Chan.
In addition to comprehensive general and family dentistry, we also offer dental implant treatment, orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry. We present all treatment options and believe our patients know what suits them best.
Our Inverloch dental practice is opposite the library, and our Korumburra dental practice is opposite the chemist in the arcade.
If you have a dental emergency or toothache, we invite you to get in touch straight away so we can look after your health and have you feeling comfortable again.
We welcome patients of all ages and provide gentle paediatric dentistry for the little ones in your family.
