Covid-Safe Dentist and Provider of Dental Services in Washington DC: Ingber Dental

Ingber Dental, and Drs. Kenneth Ingber, Aynur Ismayil, and Kaitlin Delaney, have been recommended as Covid-safe, Covid-cautious dentists and providers of dental services in Washington, DC. And we have to say that they are perhaps one of the most Covid-safe practices we’ve seen.

The person who recommended Inger Dental explains that “I wanted to recommend Ingber Dental in Washington DC. They are in a downtown DC office building. While masking isn’t required in the larger building, the dentist office itself requires everyone (patients and staff) to mask and they have HEPA purifiers in every room. The person who worked on me wore a N95. The waiting room also was not crowded when I was there. It is a fairly small practice.”

As soon as you hit the Ingber Dental website, you are presented with a pop-up that says:

Our Office’s COVID-19 Prescreen and Precautions
In light of the recent pandemic, we have improved upon our already stringent disinfection and sterilization protocol. We feel that this commitment will allow you to advance your oral health without worrying about your overall health being affected by COVID-19.

That pop-up leads you to a full page of information about the Covid precautions that they take, which includes a pre-screening form that you have to download and fill out, and which says this on the page:

At Ingber Dental, we are committed not only to your dental health but to your overall health. In light of the recent pandemic, we have put extraordinary measures in place to help protect you and your family. We have continued to practice hand hygiene and disinfection of dental equipment using hospital-grade disinfectants. We have also continued to sterilize instruments and equipment with high heat and pressure. Of course, we utilize new personal protective equipment (PPE) for each patient. In addition to the gloves and face masks that we wore prior to the pandemic, we have now implemented gowns, face shields, surgical caps or hairnets, and N95 KN95 masks.

To further prevent the spread of coronavirus, we have added in the following features:

Screening each patient for signs or symptoms of COVID-19 prior to their appointment
Taking the temperature of each patient and staff when they present to the office
Reducing the overall number of patients in the office at any given time
Disinfecting both clinical (such as the dental chair, all surfaces in the dental operatory) and non-clinical areas (such as chairs in the waiting room, doorknobs, and surfaces in the waiting room) frequently
Placing barriers in the waiting room and offering contact-free checkout

Pre-Screening

Prior to your next appointment, be sure to fill out the pre-screen above. As stated in the form, please let us know if you have experienced any of the following:

Fever within the last 14-21 days
Shortness of breath or any difficulties breathing
Cough
Flu-like symptoms, including gastrointestinal upset, headache, or fatigue
The recent loss of taste or smell
Contact with any confirmed cases of COVID-19
Travel within the last 14 days to regions affected by COVID-19

Needless to say, we are very impressed with this Covid-safe dentist, and are so glad that they were submitted to us!
