Pandemic Protocols:
We are pre-screening 100% of our clients before stepping into our office:
We send a text link or email with Covid-19 and health history forms to be filled out in anticipation of your visit.
Please Kokua (help), fill these forms and submit online 3 days in advance of your appointment.
For our Kupuna (elderly), in office help is available if online forms prove too difficult to negotiate.
Temperature checks
Wearing mask into office
Washing hands
Pre-rinsing mouth before treatment
We have both Air Doctor and Dyson Air Purifiers in every room and operatory. We have also invested in Vector Vortex External Oral Suction Device for added layer of protection.
We are defogging every operatory in between patients as recommended by ADA.
We are doing everything possible to disinfect and sterilize.
Your trust is literally in our hands and we gladly accept this responsibility.
Lastly, in light of the pandemic spread and increasing daily counts of Covid-19, we will be closely monitoring county and state recommendations.
We are empathetic to patient needs and we respect everyone’s decision to seek dental care, whether now or later.
We appreciate our Smile Hawaii Ohana and plan to continue providing even better care than ever before.
