Summer and Fall 2026
In spite of some health facilities relaxing most of their previous Covid-19 protocols, we continue to be very cautious. Having lost a family member to Covid-19 in 2024 is evidence
precautionary measures are good practice.
In a dental setting, even with our window exhaust ventilation, caution and protection for everyone MUST be the course. When entering the office, if there are others in the reception area, we may ask you to use a surgical mask we provide if in the "shared air" area more than 5 minutes
- Each treatment room has window exhaust ventilation to create a NEGATIVE PRESSURE environment! Not every dental office offers this additional protection.
- When treating, we all use 95 type respirators where appropriate by clinicians.
- A full aerosol "containment room"," isolated from common areas where Dr Farley uses the hand-piece (drill)
- Hygienist rooms have both UVc/HEPA and window ventilation- inside air power vented to parking lot
- HEPA filters in our main ventilation heating/cooling unit, and in each room, including reception
- 5 in-office Inflow intakes which takes inside office air to outside using the rooftop HVAC unit
- HEPA filters (MERV ratings of 13 and 15) in portable germicidal ventilation units, including UV-C light disinfection
- PPE wear including gowns, and head-wear
- Coronavirus specific disinfectant usage throughout the office, EPA certified
- Over the patient aerosol suction with internal UV-c for restoration procedures

THANK YOU TO OUR DEDICATED PATIENTS FOR YOUR SUPPORT...
If in our reception area with others more than 5 minutes, we may ask patients
to wear a surgical Level 3 mask for safety. We have plenty to use.
BELOW ARE OUR STANDARD PROTOCOLS, UNCHANGED SINCE 2020
We are very much looking forward to continuing the personable and professional care we've provided to our dedicated family
of patients for decades.
Dr. Farley, Kayla, Agatha and Lina
We use an ARANET CO2 monitor as well....
