As We Help Our Employees Care for Their Families

Diamond Braces is truly a community: we care for our patients and their families, and we also care for our employees and their families.  

As the Coronavirus outbreak disrupts many areas of life, we may need to adjust staffing to assist those employees who need to be at home with children or loved ones. You may see new faces and miss some familiar favorites during your visit – but don’t worry, all of our doctors and staff are extremely experienced and ready to help you with your braces & Invisalign!  

Together, We Can Take Steps to Limit the Spread of
                  Coronavirus

Together,

We Can Take Steps to Limit the Spread of Coronavirus

In a public health situation like Coronavirus, is important that we all take the necessary steps to decrease the spread of illness. The following directives are from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  

What can you do to keep your community safe?  

  • Wash hands frequently and vigorously. Scrub with soap and water for 20 seconds (about the time to sing Happy Birthday twice!), dry thoroughly with paper towel or hand drier. Wash hands after touching public surfaces like door handles and elevator buttons. 
  • Hand sanitizer is also effective (make sure it is at least 60% alcohol) 
  • Avoid touching your face/eyes/mouth with unwashed hands
  • Cough/sneeze into tissue or elbow. Wash hands immediately for 20 seconds. 
  • Stay home if you are sick: Coronavirus is highly contagious, and is also more dangerous for those with other illnesses. Limit spread of illness by staying home while you are sick. 
  • Social distancing: avoid gatherings of people. Stay home as much as possible, and limit physical contact, especially with people who are ill. 
  • If you are sick, wear a face mask. If you are not sick, leave the face masks for those who really need them: those who are ill, and healthcare professionals! 
  • Clean and disinfect frequently: clean your home and work spaces regularly, especially those surfaces that are frequently touched: doorknobs, light switches, faucets, etc.

If you would like more information, the CDC has more useful facts to help you stay informed. When reading up on Coronavirus, make sure to check the source: worried people sometimes share incorrect information while trying to be helpful.
