Dental Care in the time of Covid 19. We all know how our dental health affects our overall health and during the Covid 19 pandemic it is even more important to have great oral health daily habits.

Here ‘s a couple things to remember during your Covid 19 Quarantine and everyday thereafter!

Do not skip meals during your quarantine, you need the strength a healthy diet provides, and it’s great for the pearly white enamel of your teeth.

Drink plenty of water, when you let yourself get dehydrated it takes a toll on your whole system including brain function and oral health.

Brush and floss your teeth after every meal… like Nike says … “Just do it”

Brush your teeth with your brush at a 45-degree angle with short, tooth-length strokes for maximum effect. Additionally, you should brush your teeth for at least two minutes each time.

Change your toothbrush. A worn toothbrush damages your teeth, change it every 2 to 3 months.

Keep your toothbrush Soft. Toothbrushes with bristles that are too hard can really damage your teeth by wearing down the structure. Choose brushes with soft bristles, they’re as effective as medium or hard brushes without any risks of tooth enamel or structure damage.

A noninvasive cost-effective way to change the shape, size and color of teeth, Porcelain Veneers can be used when people are not happy with their current smile, perhaps certain antibiotics as a child led to staining,  or a fall led to a chipped front tooth, perhaps it is to even out a smile and correct minor deficiencies, or defects, or perhaps teeth have changed  in shape and color with age.  

At DaVinci’s Dental Care we believe Veneers are the best first step in a patient makeover process and can dramatically help the patient look and feel 10 years younger, they can noticeably change patient outlook and confidence levels.  Today we are seeing more and more top Plastic surgeons won’t touch a patient unless the teeth and smile aesthetic are already complete.  Our philosophy, or protocol, is always a conservative, noninvasive, highly cosmetic and natural approach to each cosmetic case.

Covid 19 Infection Control Protocols in Costa Rica with Dr. Delfin Barquero

All doctors and staff who treat patients are trained in infection prevention methods and follow infection control guidelines set by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These infection prevention and control recommendations for daily practice of dental treatments include:

• Exam room disinfection protocols

• Common area, waiting room disinfection protocols

• Proper hand washing and hand hygiene techniques

• The wearing of clean personal protective equipment

• The use of sterilized dental instruments

How Dr. Del Keeps You & Your Family Safe from Infection at Every Visit

Our daily protocols to prevent infection start early in the morning and continue throughout the day. When a patient enters the clinic, their shoes will be immediately disinfected, then the temperate is taken and the patient is asked to clean their hands with alcohol gel before taking a seat in the waiting area where physical distancing has been arranged for your safety.  We follow these protocols every day, for every patient.  

What gets disinfected before you sit in Dr. Del’s Dental Chair Before a patient enters the examination room it has already gone through the sterilization process and is immediately thoroughly cleaned and sterilized again between each patient. This includes:

• Dental treatment chair

• Dental light

• Instrument tray and all dental instruments

• All Drawers, counter tops, and surfaces

• Aerosol misting sterilization spray machine in each treatment room

• High suction oral spray machine at each chair side   

Sterile, disposable items are changed between each patient such as disposable gloves, disposable masks, disposable gowns, sterilized protective eye wear,.

All non-disposable dental instruments are sterilized between patients using special dental sterilization machines and equipment. Disposable instruments and needles come from sealed, sterile packs. All disposable instruments and needles are properly disposed of after one-time use. A disposable tool is never reused.  

“Your dental health has always been important to me, that’s why I’ve invested in new equipment throughout the clinic so you can be assured your visit will be clean, sterile & safe.”   – Dr. Del
