A memo to our Dental Professionals and Practices:

We hope this message finds you and your families well and in good health. As we continue to monitor the ongoing developments of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) our efforts are focused on the reopening of Dental Practices throughout our area. The health and safety of our dental community has always been the forefront of our concern. Information continues to change frequently and we encourage our professionals and practices to review the recommendations and guidelines made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Our team at HealthPro is taking proactive, preventative measures to protect our professionals and practices against exposure. We ask for your support as will be implementing new protocols and procedures prior to all Temporary Staffing.

Our Dental Practices will be required to complete a Dental Practice COVID-19 Screening and Prevention Questionnaire. The questionnaire will be available to Temporary Employees for review prior to acceptance of a Temporary Assignment.

Our Dental Professionals will be required to complete a Temporary Employee COVID-19 Screening and Prevention Questionnaire.

As a reminder we ask ALL of our dental professionals to continue to adhere to these preventative measures:

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Stay home when you are sick
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
