What Can I Expect When I Come for My Dental Appointment?

May 18

Gordon Center for General & Advanced Dentistry has been open since May and seeing patients! Our staff and their families have remained healthy, and there have been no confirmed cases of transmission at any dental office nationwide. Here’s an overview of our COVID safety protocols:

Social Distancing Measures

We have instituted a texting program that allows patients to stay in their car when they arrive. Patients will call or text Billie. They will be notified by calling or texting when the treatment room is ready. They can expect to be greeted at the front of the office by a staff member. Temperatures will be taken with a touchless thermometer. Patients will then be taken directly back to their treatment room.

Patients must wear a mask in the office per Gov. Hogan’s executive order. Patients should come with their own masks, but if they do not have one, we will have a limited supply at the front desk.

At this time, non-patients coming with patients are limited to ONE necessary guardian.

Protective Measures

All doctors, assistants, and hygienists wear enhanced levels of PPE. This includes the use of face shields, N95 masks, scrubs with outer lab coats changed between patients, and HEPA filter machines that filter the air. We have one in each operatory and one much larger one at both the front and back of the office. Dentistry in the past was concerned with preventing blood borne pathogens. Now, we are additionally focused on airborne pathogens.

Standards of Cleanliness

We completely repainted and re-carpeted the office. A new level of cleanliness and cleaning procedures will become a new way of life, so we decided the best way was to start fresh with the surroundings. HEPA filters are now in each treatment room with larger ones in the front door area and in the back of the office. Hand sanitizer is available at the front desk and in common areas.

A Touchless Thermometer

At least in the near term, temperatures will be taken with a touchless thermometer on all patients before a dental procedure is started.

A Questionnaire

All patients will be asked a new set of questions when confirming over the phone and upon arrival to the office. These will include questions like …”Have you or anyone in your household had symptoms of COVID19 in the past 2 weeks?” and “Have you developed a cough in the past 2 weeks?” Patients who answer yes to any of the screening questions will be asked to reschedule their appointment.

The Same Team

We would like you to know that everyone who works at GCGAD was kept on full salary when the office was closed in early spring. Our dedicated professionals–Billie, Tina, Nila, Nicole, and Nicky received their full salary during the closure. No one was furloughed or fired. This was unique for the medical and dental community. We realize that our staff are dedicated people who help you receive the finest care in the country. We know they have bills to pay. So, we decided to use this gesture to say thank you for taking such good care of all of our patients.

I am above all else, a spirit-led experience.

I am the neurodivergent middle child to Jewish French Tunisian immigrant parents. Much to my parents frustration, I have been questioning the ‘shoulds’ of this world since I was old enough to ask why (and throw tantrums when I didn’t like the answer).

These days, I use that inquiring, curious mind to guide soul-led people in cutting through the b.s. of old-world systems and establish their own structures that honor their values + identities, with only the rare tantrum.

I have spent the last 16 years building small businesses, both for myself and my clients. After selling my second personal venture in 2016, I could no longer deny a deeper call - connecting my spiritual pursuits & gifts to my body of work.

My own learning and development includes my multi-cultural lineages and traditions, psychedelic facilitation training, intuitive development, dreamwork, Kabbalah, dowsing, Human Design, meditation & movement, among other more traditional training in influence marketing, content strategy, marketing strategy, etc.

Today, my offerings span across the professional and personal services, because you deserve to feel authentically you in every expression.

Professional offerings include Fractional Marketing, Business & Marketing Consulting, Group Programs, and Facilitation.

Personal offerings include Alignment Coaching, Plant Medicine Ceremonies, and Energetic Guidance.

While my favorite folks to serve are the heart-led individuals finding their voice in sharing their calling, I also have experience with organizations including Samsonite, Outlier.org, SoundMind Institute, Top 10 Apple Podcasts, Pernod Ricard, among others.
