COVID-19 Office Sterilization Protocols

The uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected all parts of all our lives. Here at Felton Dental Care we have been asking important questions about our responsibility as a health care provider as well as a part of the general community.

The situation is changing each day and leaders are struggling to provide clear guidelines to providers. As a result, it is hard for us to know how best to help our community. I believe that the coming weeks are going to be useful to help us understand the roll of our dental office to help stem-the-tide of this pandemic.

I have decided to close Felton Dental Care as of March 24th, 2020 through April 3rd, 2020. Simply put, the potential risks are too great to my team and my patients. All hygiene and restorative appointments will be cancelled during this time period. It is possible that this closure will be for longer. We will make this decision each week using current recommendations. Please continue to check our website or call our office (406) 728-0896 for the most current information.

Behind the scenes we will working hard to ensure that when the time comes to resume care we will be organized and ready to serve our patients in a safe manner.

I will continue to personally see any patient with a dental emergency. I have developed protocols to reduce the transmission of this airborne virus while in the dental office and those protocols will be utilized for each person in the office during an emergency procedure.

If have a question, concern, or urgent need please call the office (406) 728-0896. Instructions as to how to contact me directly will be on our answering service.

Sincerely,

Brett Felton DMD

Hi, I’m Dr. Brett Felton, and today in the Missoula dental blog we will be discussing the often misunderstood subject of wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are sometimes called the third molars because they are even farther back in the mouth than the two sets of regular molars we all have. These four teeth usually erupt […]
