Patient Safety

Safety Practices

• Screening Efforts: Upon arrival at MCC, please park in Lot K at the designated Dental Clinic Patient parking meters. Enter Building 8 and take the elevator or stairs to the 2nd Floor and follow the "Dental Clinic" signage.
• Personal Protective Equipment: Proper PPE including ASTM level 3 masks, gowns, gloves and safety glasses have always been a requirement for our students, faculty, and clinical staff working at MCCVDHC. We have increased PPE standards to include face shields, head and shoe coverings.
• Social Distancing: You will be required to hand sanitize your hands upon entering the clinical area. You will be taken directly to your unit upon entry to MCCVDHC.
• Cleaning Practices: Our dental operatories are meticulously cleaned after each patient appointment following infection control guidelines. All dental instruments are sterilized and individually wrapped in our state-of-the-art instrument processing facility using professional grade sterilization techniques.

Our entire clinic's air is filtered using UV Air Disinfection and each patient operatory purifies the air by HEPA filtration.
