Great news! Matthew Wallengren, DDS is now open to patients to treat all of your dental needs. Our goal, as always, is to provide our patients and our team with a safe, comfortable dental home. 

Here are some of the things our dental team is doing to ensure your safety: 

• Hand Hygiene
  Proper handwashing is one of the most important measures our team takes to prevent the spread of infection. For routine dental exams and nonsurgical procedures, we wash thoroughly with water and hand soap specifically created for healthcare settings. 
• Personal Protective Equipment
  We possess and use all necessary protective equipment, including face masks, gloves, protective eyewear, and protective clothing. Worn by our team and changed regularly, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is designed to protect everyone in our practice from exposure to infectious agents. 
• Sterilization and Disinfection of Patient-Care Items and Devices
  Instruments and equipment used in your care are all regularly sterilized and disinfected to ensure that your health is never at risk. Items such as surgical instruments and mouth mirrors are always sterilized before each use. 
• Regular Sanitation
  Common touchpoints, including seating, workspaces, door handles, railings, and restrooms are sanitized on a regular basis by our team with effective cleaning solutions certified to kill viruses.
