To Our Valued Patients,

As this newest challenge continues to unfold with COVID-19 (Coronavirus), we wanted to give you an update. First, we are currently maintaining our regular schedule. As of now, the Arizona Department of Health Services is not recommending closure or modification. We will continue to closely monitor information from the CDC and AZDHS and follow their recommendations. We will keep you up to date on any changes we may have to make via emails, our website, and social media.

Second, we would like to give you some insight into our practices to keep our team and patient family safe and comfortable. Dentistry is uniquely positioned to protect our team and patients. On a daily basis, we practice ‘Universal Precautions.’ This means we ALWAYS assume that every patient may be carrying a contagious, dangerous disease and we follow strict guidelines to prevent the transmission of any potential disease, including Hepatitis, Tuberculosis, HIV, AND COVID-19 (Coronavirus). This has been standard of care and regulated by the Centers for Disease Control since the 1980s with the AIDS
epidemic.

These measures include:
1. Strict hand hygiene protocols.
2. Use of single use disposable protective equipment and barriers.
3. Thorough disinfection of exposed or potentially exposed surfaces after every patient visit.
4. Disinfection and high-heat steam sterilization of instruments. Routine monitoring of sterilization verification.
5. Continual education on infection control techniques.

In addition to these mandated measures, we have also implemented:
1. Disinfection of common area surfaces every 30 minutes.
2. Availability of hand sanitizer in common areas.
3. Screening everyone who enters based on CDC recommendations.
4. Pre-procedural mouth rinse.

We are happy to address any concerns you may have. We will continue to care for our patient family during this time following all best practices and will monitor CDC guidelines for any new recommendations.

Thank you for being a part of our family. Thank you for allowing us to care for you and your family. Please know we are here to support you and help you in any way that we can.

In good health,

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

Posted on 3/20/2018 by Dr. Andrew Zeiger

Oral Care Bradshaw Family Dental AZ 86314

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.
