Patient Safety

Upon arrival at MCC, please park in Lot K at the designated Dental Clinic Patient parking meters.

Enter Building 8 and take the elevator or stairs to the 2nd Floor, and follow the "Dental Clinic" signage.

Your temperature and a brief COVID-19 Questionnaire may be taken upon arrival at the Viswanathan Dental Studies Clinic by one of our students. If you are feeling ill, please reschedule your appointment and contact your primary care physician.

Masking is recommended when visiting our clinic.

We thank you for your patience and cooperation in keeping everyone safe. Please know that our extra efforts are for your safety as well as the health and safety of everyone in our facilities.

Note: If you are symptomatic, please reschedule your appointment.

Proper PPE including ASTM level 3 masks, gowns, gloves and safety glasses have always been a requirement for our students, faculty, and clinical staff working at MCCVDHC. We have increased PPE standards to include face shields, head and shoe coverings.

All patients and visitors to our clinic are required to wear a mask or face covering at all times until treatment is being provided.

Please use social distancing in our waiting area.

You will be required to hand sanitize your hands upon entering the clinical area. You will be taken directly to your unit upon entry to MCCVDHC.

While infection prevention has always been a top priority, we are now taking extra precautions when it comes to cleaning our clinical facilities, waiting rooms, elevators, restrooms, and other public spaces to ensure everyone’s safety. We are focusing on all high-touch areas and clean these multiple times a day to make sure every area is continuously disinfected.

In addition, our dental operatories are meticulously cleaned after each patient appointment following infection control guidelines. All dental instruments are sterilized and individually wrapped in our state-of-the-art instrument processing facility using professional grade sterilization techniques.

Our entire clinic's air is filtered using UV Air Disinfection and each patient operatory purifies the air by HEPA filtration.
