Swine Flu and Your Dental Office

You are most likely aware that a national health emergency has been declared in the U.S. as a result of the swine flu scare. Though the U.S. has not seen many cases yet - and those that we have seen have been relatively mild - the outbreak has already killed otherwise healthy young people in Mexico.So everyone is a lot more aware of the flu right now. One of the nice things about our dental office is that the sterilization systems and techniques we use on a daily basis make it one of the safest places to work and treat patients.
We're doing our part to help protect the health of our patients. And we'd like your help!If you have any flu-like symptoms, please do not come in to our office. Rest assured that you will not be charged a missed appointment fee if you're not feeling well. Don’t get us wrong, we love seeing you and we never want to turn anyone away. However, the last thing we want is for our dental office to become a place where infection spreads. To protect our patients, we're doing everything we can to keep our team members healthy and not have sick patients in the waiting room.Here are some general tips for dealing with swine flu:
Wash your hands frequently, and avoid touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
At the first sign of illness, isolate yourself to protect others. (Authorities recommend you stay at home for at least 7 days after getting sick, as you could still infect others.)
If your flu symptoms are mild, stay home, and call your doctor; do not go the doctor's office or clinic.
If your symptoms become severe, call your doctor immediately and seek medical treatment.
We hope you're feeling healthy! If you have any questions or if we may be of assistance, call at 310.540.8800 or email us at info@EricJohnsonDDS.com
