COVID-19 Response:
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, Emergence Endodontics has continuously provided care and attended to emergency patients in need. Our office aims to follow the most up to date guidelines from the College of Dental Surgeons of BC and from the Provincial Health Officer. We implemented stricter disinfection protocols in the office according to the health authorities. Personal Protective Equipment including N95 masks, level 3 surgical masks, gowns, and face shields are used for each patient. Furthermore, to clean the air, the enclosed operatories have been equipped with Surgically Clean Air purifier units to provide continuous air exchange and to filter the air through HEPA filters and Germicidal UVC+ light. The technology will not only capture airborne contaminants but also actively kill airborne bacteria, viruses, germs and mold spores.
We ask you to help us by adhering to the following guidelines and we look forward to seeing you and answer any questions/concerns regarding COVID-19 that you may have.
