Care During COVID
The health and safety of our patients, our team, and our doctors are our top priority at Angell Street Dental in Providence, RI. Find out more about the new protocols we established for care during the COVID pandemic.
Infection Control & New COVID Protocols
We pride ourselves on exceeding the infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). On top of our infection control foundation, we have added additional protocols to address the unique aspects of the current environment to ensure the safety of our patients and our team.
Patient Protocols:
- When you arrive at the practice, you’ll be screened by one of our team members.
- In the office, please keep 6 feet away from all other persons with the exception of the clinical team treating you.
- Proper hand hygiene is necessary. We have made hand sanitizer available at the entrance/exit.
- Please practice proper respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette.
- Please wear a face-covering/mask into the office as long as the recommendation for face-covering remains.
- Please fill out any necessary Patient Forms electronically and submit them prior to visiting our practice.
COVID Risk Screening
Additionally, we conduct daily COVID Risk Screening of all team members and patients coming in for appointments. Screenings may consist of a temperature check, an SPO2 level (oxygen) check if necessary, and a COVID-19 risk assessment questionnaire.
