To keep you as safe as possible during your visit with us, we have many new processes and protocols in place. This is especially important for certain procedures. Our goals are to take care of our patients and keep everyone as safe as possible. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
We now have three levels of screening for all our patients:
1. Screening by phone: All patients will be screened over the phone prior to their dental appointment for COVID-19 symptoms. If you are having symptoms, recommendations will be made for you to contact your medical doctor. You may be asked to test for COVID-19 prior to your appointment. In this case, we will reschedule your appointment in a timely manner.
2. Testing for COVID-19 when needed: There are some procedures that create “aerosols”. These are small particles created by using a dental handpiece or an air/water syringe in the mouth. Common procedures that result in aerosols include fillings and crowns.
These procedures can only be performed on patients who have been tested for COVID-19 and do not have it. We can do the test for you as part of your appointment.
A UT Dentistry scheduler will schedule a testing appointment for you at one of our four San Antonio drive-thru locations at least two days before your appointment.
3. Screening at arrival: When you arrive at our practice for your appointment, you will be screened for signs and symptoms of COVID-19. Your temperature also will be taken. If there is concern of a possible COVID-19 infection, patients will be referred to their health care provider for testing and their dental appointment will be rescheduled. For patients who do not have a physician, a list of testing sites will be provided.
In addition to these new protocols, we have put into place very strict safety precautions for our staff and patients:
Please contact our practice with any questions about your care prior to your appointment.
Thank you for your help in making this the safest environment for you and our providers.
Once again, if you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to call us. We look forward to your return.
Thank you,
UT Health Dentistry
