Like most dental professionals throughout the country,\nadditional steps are being taken to better protect you and staff members from\nthe virus, one of which is wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). So\nwhich ones are your dental team relying on to safeguard them from harmful\nbacteria and viruses like COVID-19? Your dentist explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Germ-Free Hands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gloves have been and will continue to be one of the most pivotal\npieces of PPE a dentist and their team can wear. Not only do they keep dirt\naccumulations and germs from entering into a patient\u2019s mouth, but they protect\nagainst bodily fluids (i.e. saliva, blood) from coming into contact with their\nskin and nails. Because COVID-19 can be easily transmitted through aerosols and\npossibly touch, it is best to keep gloves on and avoid any potential for\ncontamination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facial Barrier from Bacteria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Viruses can be passed along as airborne particles that\neither fall to the ground or enter into the eyes, nose, or mouth of a nearby\nindividual. The proximity between dentist and patient requires there to be a\nbarrier of some sort to protect against anything that could easily lead to a\ndangerous infection. No matter if your dental hygienist is performing an\naerosol-generating procedure or not, you will likely see them wearing a face\nmask and shield as an extra precaution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protecting Personal Clothing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, bacteria can cling to clothing for a longer\nperiod of time than originally thought. With this new information provided by\nresearchers, dentists are now requiring staff to change into and out of work\nattire while at the office. But that isn\u2019t enough. To keep these scrubs and\npersonal clothing as bacteria-free as possible, disposable gowns and\/or lab\ncoats will be worn by your dental team to protect against splashes and sprays during\nan appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safeguarding the Eyes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having healthy hands and superb vision are two of the most\nimportant things a dentist can have. Not only do they need to be able to physically\nhandle the instruments required for regular treatment, but they must be able to\nclearly see problem areas of the mouth that are visible to the naked eye. To avoid\naccidental infection of any kind, your dentist will now wear protective eyewear.\nIt is far too easy for fluids and aerosols to transfer into this area of the\nface, which is why these clear, plastic glasses are one of the most important pieces\nof PPE they can wear right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know more about these PPE or what else your\ndentist is doing to prepare for your upcoming visit, make sure to contact a\nmember of the staff before your appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author <\/strong><br>\nDr. Amiee Vaughn earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the\nUniversity of Louisville School of Dentistry.
