COVID-19 & Dentistry: My Office is Closed. Now What? A Guide for Dentists & Team Members

Join Dr. Gary Severance with Henry Schein for the latest update on how COVID-19 is affecting dentistry. In this episode, Dr. Severance will be joined by Dr. Bobbi Stanley, dentist and owner of Stanley Dentistry and educator and owner of Stanley Institute, who will share how she has transformed her practice to navigate practicing dentistry in the age of COVID-19.

In this webinar, she will discuss the many questions that dentists are now facing and how she is addressing them in her own practice, including:
-Can I make revenue while I am closed?
-How should I handle emergencies?
-When should I start scheduling patients again?
-What should my team members be doing (even if they are laid off)?
-What is happening with my marketing while we are closed?
-Should I have someone answering my phones?
-What can I do during this time to improve skill level and procedure efficiencies?
-How can I assure that my office will be 100% functional when I reopen on day one?

Considering that every patient is potentially contagious with covid 19 provider better keep the respirator and eye protection on even when dismissing the patient. Is it right?

Make the office safer and reopen now! In the absence of exact regulations, dentists should look to hospital standards. Class-A outpatient operatories do have standards for air changes per hour. It's currently 15 ACH. The RECIRCULATOR II by Biosense, Inc. is a portable, hospital-grade air purification system that can sanitize a treatment room approximately 1900 cubic feet every 3.3 minutes, which is over 18 ACH! It's only $2800. And it's pretty quiet, too. I recommend looking into it -- www.recirculator.com/dental. Their site has a video review from a dentist, too.

Would it be possible to make a video to demonstrate donning/offing PPE, and entering/exiting tx rooms?

You are so rigth. Time look into our practice at the things we never had time or patience for.. it may be a good pause to adjust the load

Glad I got my PPP. For the first time in 27 years, I am only seeing existing patients for emergencies.37

My question is it safe to get my kid teeth pulled and he won't get the virus from doctors or staff and are hospital clean to do the survey

This is insane — what is the point of staying open? Patient visits will drop significantly. Many of the startups that are highly leveraged will be forced out.

What face Shields do you use with loops that you talked about in video?

4 meters we read WAS caused by coughing events

[boxsterbenz]

Mother your kids not your patients. I prefer to speak to adults like adults.
