TEAM DEAR TOOTH FAIRY

We avoid person-to-person contact in the office; and facilitate social distancing within the office.

We limit the number of people in the office at any given time by introducing “ONE CHILD ONE PARENT” policy, no double booking of appointments, longer “resting” time between appointments, and staffing the office accordingly.

We greet patients and parents at the front door: review COVID questionnaire; check face masks; provide hand sanitizer; check temperatures of EVERYONE coming into the office; and reschedule if necessary.

Throughout the office, we have medical grade air purifiers equipped with true HEPA-13 filters constantly filtering and cleaning air in the office.

You will be seeing us in COVID-19-ready PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), including headcover, goggles, face shields, respirators or surgical masks, gowns and shoe covers.

We adhere strictly to infection control measures recommended/ mandated by state and national agencies.

We adopt enhanced office cleaning and disinfection, including disinfecting high touch areas routinely and after each use (e.g., restroom, countertop, sitting area, door knobs).

We stay informed about developments and obligations; share guidance with patients and parents.

We will stay connected and be there for our patients by utilizing teledentistry as much as possible. Dr. Kim is on call 24/7.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach us at (201)763-6030, or email conact@deartoothfairyjc.com. Thank you!
