Covid - 19

Dear Patients, As the world works to limit the spread of COVID-19, we want to let you know how we’re making our office extra safe during this time.   Wearing masks may be new to you, but not to us. We've always worn PPE (personal protective equipment) to protect you. We've always used state of the art sterilization.  We have always disinfected our treatment room surfaces in between each patient. All of our staff receive ongoing infection control training. A third party also inspects the office and provides additional infection control training to all staff members to insure that Perry Hall Dental Care is always providing the safest environment for our patients and staff. That said, we are now taking some additional precautions to make sure you feel as comfortable in our office as possible: • All staff members have their temperatures checked each morning and confirm that they are not experiencing any symptoms and have not been around anyone that has or has been exposed to COVID-19 • We will be asking patients a series of screening question on our confirmation phone call and again when you arrive. • We will be asking you to stay in your car when you arrive. You will receive a phone call when you may come into the office • We will ask you to wear a face mask in the office at all times except during dental procedures • We will be asking you to complete a COVID-19 specific screening form and we will be taking your temperature when you arrive. • We will ask you to wash your hands or use our provided hand sanitizer prior to going back for your appointment • We will be providing you with Peroxyl to rinse your mouth prior to any procedures • For cleanings, we will not be using any ultrasonic scaling and we will not be polishing after cleanings for the time being • We will be staggering appointment times to insure that only one patient is coming in or leaving the practice at a time • In addition to the procedures for the operatories, all touch surfaces in the common areas (door knobs, counters, etc.) will be disinfected between each patient. • Our clinical team and front desk will be wearing additional PPE including face shields • We have purchased air purifiers for each operatory and the waiting room that have medical grade HEPA filters that remove 99.99% of airborne particles, UV germicidal lamps to kill viruses, and a 18-lb carbon filter to remove chemicals from the air. With our masks and face shields, we may look a bit like Storm Troopers, but we promise you that we are smiling under our masks.  We look forward to seeing you soon Thank you for your continued support. We value you as part of the Perry Hall Dental Care family. • Perry Hall Dental Care

Toothaches

Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue.

Broken, Fractured, or Displaced Tooth

A broken, fractured or displaced tooth is usually not a cause for alarm, as long as decisive, quick action is taken.

If the tooth has been knocked out, try to place the tooth back in its socket while waiting to see your dentist.

First, rinse the mouth of any blood or other debris and place a cold cloth or compress on the cheek near the injury. This will keep down swelling.

If you cannot locate the tooth back in its socket, hold the dislocated tooth by the crown - not the root. Next, place it in a container of warm milk, saline or the victim's own saliva and keep it in the solution until you arrive at the emergency room or dentist's office.

For a fractured tooth, it is best to rinse with warm water and again, apply a cold pack or compress. Ibuprofen may be used to help keep down swelling.

If the tooth fracture is minor, the tooth can be sanded or if necessary, restored by the dentist if the pulp is not severely damaged.

If a child's primary tooth has been loosened by an injury or an emerging permanent tooth, try getting the child to gently bite down on an apple or piece of caramel; in some cases, the tooth will easily separate from the gum.
