NEW SAFETY MEASURES
• |
Our waiting room is closed to help ensure patients maintain a safe social distance. Please call or text Marlee at 360-734-2822 when you arrive. We will take patients directly back to treatment rooms to ensure safe physical distancing. |
• |
As always, treatment rooms and equipment are disinfected before and after every patient. Instruments are cleaned, then sterilized with steam. |
• |
We are conducting paperless pre-visit screenings for all patients with upcoming appointments. |
• |
Our staff are up-to-speed on COVID-19 symptoms and utilize recommended Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). |
• |
We will meet you outside where your temperature will be taken prior to being brought into the building. If you have a fever, cough, shortness of breath or other COVID-19 symptom your appointment will be rescheduled. |
• |
Only patients, or patients plus one critical caregiver, are allowed into an appointment. |
• |
Please wear a mask to your appointment, and leave it on until you are in the treatment room. If you don't have a mask, we will provide one. |
• |
We have implemented digital tools for check-in as well as contactless payment methods to reduce germ spread via clipboards, pens, and money. |
• |
We've added time between appointments to allow for sanitizing and to keep patients apart from one another to avoid high volume or density. |
• |
Any patients or staff who were diagnosed with COVID-19 must have an all-clear notification from their physician before entering our facility. |
• |
We ask that all patients use the hand sanitizer provided at the front door upon entering. It will also be available in other areas of the office. |
As always, our main concern is the safety and well-being of our patients and staff. If you have any questions or concerns, contact us at any time.

X-Rays (Radiographs) |
X-rays are a primary tool for early identification of dental problems. Detecting issues with X-rays before they become problems can save you money in the long run by preventing the need for more extensive, expensive procedures or surgeries. X-rays are primarily used to detect:
• Internal tooth decay • Cysts (fluid filled sacks at the base of your teeth) • Tumors, both cancerous and non-cancerous • Impacted teeth • Teeth that are still coming in At Evergreen Dentistry, our dental team uses digital x-rays which have several advantages over traditional film based x-rays. They emit up to 90% less radiation, are ready for examination nearly instantly, can be viewed by the patient and dentist on a computer screen, and they are greener; no chemicals are needed for processing.
