Patient Safety — Our Commitment
Did you know that September 17th is International Patient Safety Day? It doesn’t mean that September 17th is the safest time to visit your dentist. On International Patient Safety Day, we reaffirm our commitment to providing safe patient visits all year round!
Safety First
A good doctor-patient relationship starts with trust and safety, and the team at Tomase Dental Care holds itself to the highest standards. Here’s just a small sample of the procedures we use to keep our patients’ visits carefree:
- Sterilization: All equipment and work stations are properly cleaned with medical-grade sanitizer between every patient visit. The mouth is a common gateway for the spread of germs, so we make sure that everything a patient encounters, from toothbrushes and X-ray machines to chairs and counters, is completely sterile.
- Personal Protective Equipment: To further our fight against the spread of germs, our team wears PPE. Our protective gear includes gloves, aprons, and medical masks, all for the purpose of preventing the spread of germs. And of course, all PPE is properly sanitized or replaced between patients.
- Careful Pacing: A rushed procedure is an unsafe procedure, so our team knows the value of taking their time. Whether a patient is here for a cleaning or a root canal, we will take as much time as we need to provide them with the best possible care.
- Updating Our Standards: Safety standards evolve with time, which is why we’re always keeping up with the latest information. Whenever new findings come out, we properly train our team on all the relevant updates.
Ask Us Anything!
While safety is our top priority, patient comfort is also high on the list. We want all our patients to feel confident in the care they receive at Tomase Dental Care. That is why we encourage them to ask questions, and we’ll even give tours to new patients who would like to get to know our office before their first appointment. It’s about creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone!
Your trust is valuable at Tomase Dental Care, so we invest heavily in patient safety. For your upcoming safe visit to our office located in Toledo, OH, please give us a call to schedule your next appointment. We look forward to seeing you soon!
