How you can help
- Attend your appointment alone (or one parent/carer) to minimise the number of people in the clinic
- Maintain physical distancing whilst in the reception/waiting area
- Wear a mask whilst you wait
- Sanitise your hands on arrival
However, as always we ask that you do not attend the clinic if you are feeling unwell or been in close contact with a known case. We remain vigilant with our health screening and taking temperatures of all visitors to the practice and cleaning/infection control measures.
Patients over the age of 70 or those with chronic disease, in particular cardiovascular or respiratory disease, thoese who are immunocompromised (such as those patients undergoing cancer treatment, or insulin dependent diabetics) should defer non-urgent dental treatments.
HOW WE ARE WORKING TO KEEPING YOU AND OUR TEAM SAFE
We want to assure you that our priority remains the safety and wellbeing of people – our patients, our people and the community.
In line with this commitment, we’re continuing a number of safety measures to help minimise any risk of COVID-19 exposure within the practice.
These include:
- Our team members staying away from the practice if they have been in contact with a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19, or are feeling unwell with flu-like symptoms;
- Standard infection control procedures to reduce the spread of any infection;
- The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for all treatments such as standard level 2 surgical masks, protective eyewear, gowns and gloves;
- Strengthened cleaning procedures, including actively promoting the regular use of antibacterial hand sanitiser and surface wipes;
- Stringent personal hygiene measures for our people;
- Requesting patients reschedule their appointment if they are or have recently been unwell, or are experiencing any flu-like symptoms; and
- Touch free temperature checks for all patients and visitors
- Health declaration for all patients and visitors to the practice
To speak with us about your dental care needs or to book an appointment, please call us on 9826 4163 or email info@bondst.com.au
