We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.
Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.
Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued.
You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at (509) 485-8620 or visit our website at www.drweigand.com

Sincerely,
Richard D. Weigand, DDS
We have always followed the CDC, WHO, and OSHA guidelines for practice cleanliness. You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. Our office will contact you before you visit the practice to ask a few extra health-related standard screening questions.
When you visit the practice, you are requested to wait in your car until your turn comes to see the doctor. We will be taking your temperature when you are entering the practice to ensure you do not have any symptoms.
We have also placed hand sanitizers at the entrance and around the office for you to use when needed. The staff will be wearing personal protective equipment, which includes masks over their mouth, protective eyewear, and gloves.
All of the medical instruments that are used will be sterilized before every patient. The patient rooms will be cleaned after each patient to avoid any cross contaminations.
