Coronavirus Update

We are committed to you safety during COVID-19

We are committed to keeping our families and coworkers safe. Infection control has always been a top priority for our pediatric dental practice. You may have seen this during past visits to our office. Our infection control processes have always been performed so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want you to be aware that in addition to our high standards of infection control, we have added even more researched-based systems to further reduce risk and keep our patients safe during this pandemic. In response to the North Carolina Dental Board, The American Dental Association (ADA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC), we have updated our personal protective equipment and infection control procedures to meet and exceed current OSHA guidelines. This new equipment and systems will mean that your appointment and your providers may look a little different from prior visits. We made these changes to help protect our patients and our team.

We've made several changes to our Winston-Salem and Kernersville offices to keep you safe

To help protect our patients and our team members, we have added the following protocols to our office's infection control measures. Air filtration and purification systems have been added to both the HVAC and treatment areas that are FDA approved to remove 99.99% of viral particles. Additionally,

Families will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms prior to the appointment at confirmation and check-in and asked to fill out our COVID-19 Consent Form.
Families will be asked to wear face masks when entering/exiting the building.
When possible, patients will remain a minimum of 6 feet apart. As a result, we are scheduling at a reduced capacity to uphold social distancing measures.

We appreciate your patience with us as we navigate this unprecedented time.

My kids felt safe and cared for, the procedures were well thought-out

"I am so grateful for your professionalism and care. My kids and I were a little anxious, wondering how it would be to go to the dentist during the COVID pandemic. The procedures were well thought-out and excecuted. My kids felt safe and cared for and were in and out in under 30 minutes. Thank you so much for always providing the best care."

They are taking extra precautions to keep everyone safe

Took my daughter back as quickly as possible

The staff was great at staying masked

Dr. Lipp and trhe hygienist were all so fun and patient with my nervous daughter! Dr. Lipp took the time to explain everything to my 4 year old (who does better when she knows what to expect) and the staff was great at staying maksed and keeping everything as sanitary as possible.
