We are thrilled to announce that North Avenue Advanced Dental Center has reopened.

Infection control has always been a top priority for North Avenue Advanced Dental Center and you may have noticed this during your previous visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it is both safe and comfortable. During the closure we have further refined our infection control procedures to include the new recommendations due to the COVID-19 pandemic per the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA). We follow the recommendations of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to ensure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations.

New Patient Safety Measures

To ensure the safety of both our patients and our staff, North Avenue Advanced Dental Center has implemented new safety measures:

Staff temperatures are taken daily.

Patients experiencing a fever, cough or shortness of breath, who have been in contact with anyone diagnosed with COVID-19 or have been quarantined or treated for COVID-19, flu or another communicable disease, should schedule his or her appointment at least two weeks from the last symptom and/or until cleared by a qualified medical professional.

We will screen patients for illness at the time of scheduling and upon arrival for the appointment. Any patient exhibiting signs of illness may not be seen that day.

Upon arrival to the parking lot, patients should call the office (203-853-2732). When the office is ready to see the patient, a dental representative will call the patient to enter the office.

Patients and anyone accompanying a patient should wear masks.

We will take the temperature of each patient and anyone who accompanies the patient upon arrival to the office.

Patients will wash their hands with antibacterial soap and rinse their mouth with an antibacterial solution before the dental appointment begins.

Aides or others accompanying a patient must wait in their car or outside the office.

Patients who arrive late may not be seen that day.

We hope that you understand that all of the new procedures have been implemented to assure the safety of both our patients and our staff. We will review infection control measures regularly to ensure compliance with the most current recommendations.
