Health Safety Protocols
Prescott Valley, AZ

To Our Valued Patients at Surprise Smiles,

Welcome! We are open, looking forward to seeing returning patients, accepting new patients, and operating under normal business hours! The Arizona Department of Health Services (AZDS) is still not recommending any type of closures or modification in hours. We will continue to monitor information coming from both the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and AZDHS and keep you apprised of any changes or updates. We will stay on top of this information and bring it to you as soon as possible through our website, email, and social media.

As we continue to navigate through the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, our dentists and dental team want to assure you that we are continuing to do our best to make sure it a priority that we are following the latest health and safety guidelines from the CDC, specifically as they relate to the dental industry. We value keeping our patients and staff members safe and comfortable.

As part of our daily standard health and safety protocols, our office follows ‘Universal Precautions’ in order to protect our patients and our staff. These are precautions we have always taken, and are not new. By taking ‘universal precautions’ means we always assume that anyone could potentially be carrying a contagious and dangerous disease. We therefore follow strict guidelines to prevent the transmission of any potential disease, be it COVID-19 (Coronavirus), hepatitis, tuberculosis, HIV, or any other disease. This has been a standard of care we follow, per the CDC, in regard to blood borne pathogens.

These measures include:
• strict hand washing protocols

• use of (single use) disposable protective equipment and barriers

• thorough disinfection of exposed or potentially exposed surfaces after every patient visit

• disinfection and high-heat steam sterilization of instruments and routine monitoring of sterilization verification

• continued education on infection control

Specific to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) we have added in additional precautionary and cleaning measures including:
• disinfecting common surface areas every 30 minutes

• providing hand sanitizer in common areas

• screening everyone who enters our offices based on CDC recommendations

• offering preprocedural mouth rinse

As state and national health and safety regulations change and evolve during these times, Surprise Smiles is dedicated to monitoring and evaluating our dental practice and office space for any potential risks as we serve our patients and community. We strive to maintain an approach to our dentistry services that is both safe and beneficial to everyone we serve.

We strive to provide a safe, healthy, comfortable, and relaxed environment for everyone that comes into our dental office. We follow the American Dental Association’s Update to Office Procedures During COVID-19 in regard to safe office procedures, workplace hazards, and making decisions for best office practices. We stay informed on recent information given to dentists in this regard, as well as keeping up to date with any changes recommended by the CDC.

Please let us know if you have any questions in regard to our health and safety protocols here at Surprise Smiles. We recognize that it can be challenging during these unprecedented times of COVID-19. We all want to get back to our normal lives, and we will be able to do so, in a safe, wise, and healthy manner. We will be happy to answer any questions that you may have in regard to our dental practice health and safety protocols, cleaning, and disinfecting procedures we follow.

Thank you for continuing to be a valued patient here at Bradshaw Family Dental. We look forward to continuing to serve you and your dental needs through the various services we provide for you, from preventive dentistry, restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, pediatric dentistry, sedation dentistry, dental implants and more!

Best Ways of Taking Good Care of Your Teeth When at Home

There are certain things that you tend to neglect or shall we say, you do not bother doing when you are just relaxing at home.

The everyday struggle of getting all dressed or dolled up when you work outside of your comfort zone, for one, is a huge weight taken off your shoulders when you know you will just enjoy the whole day off at home.

But among these preparations, one thing that you should never neglect is taking care of your oral health. The simple task of brushing your teeth every single day is a big step to overall health and wellbeing.

Twice the Habit
You put all sorts of food and beverages in our mouth that sometimes or rather, most of the times there are foods with high level of acidity or sugar that you are not aware about.

Make it to a point that you have the routine of brushing your teeth first thing in the morning when you wake up and most importantly before bedtime. You can brush more than two times a day and in between but morning and before bedtime is the most ideal.

Besides brushing, it is also required that you incorporate it with flossing. Flossing your teeth is enough to get rid of stubborn food that gets stuck in between your teeth.

Eating Healthy

Even when you are home, keep in mind that eating healthy food is still the best way to help your body fight off bacteria or any threat that could weaken your immune system. Fruits and vegetables are always the best foods that will keep you out of trouble. Eating foods that are rich in vitamin C is best to keep your gums and teeth healthy.

Start taking extra care of your teeth now and visit our office for professional advice and dental checkup.
