Over the past several weeks, you\u2019ve probably heard from local\ndentists and dental associations on how practices are taking all the necessary\nsteps to ensure patient protection during the COVID-19 pandemic. As practices\nreopen so people can get their routine exams and cleanings completed once\nagain, dentists and their team members are doing more than simply removing\nwaiting areas and providing hand sanitization stations throughout their\noffices.

In the dental office, aerosols\nare at much higher risk of being produced due to the nature of dental treatments.\nThis includes cleanings, which can result in large amounts of liquid spraying\nout of the patient\u2019s mouth and into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where surgically clean air purifiers come in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
