Accura Dental Care’s Patient Care Plan for COVID-19

As the information and science around COVID-19 continues to evolve, Accura Dental Care is continuously receiving the most up-to-date information from the Colorado Dental Association (CDA), the American Dental Association (ADA), the Colorado governor’s office and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). We want to ensure that we are making the best decisions with the information and science available in a well-coordinated manner with these health agencies.

The CDA and ADA recommend that all dentists close their offices for three weeks to patients seeking elective and non-urgent care. During that time dentists should provide only emergency dental care and medically necessary care. This will allow all community healthcare providers to care for our most critical patients, while also alleviating the burden that emergency dental care would put on hospitals.

Accura Dental Care is committed to following evidence-based public health advice to help slow the spread of the virus and “flatten the curve” of transmission.

Our office will be ​open ​to all patients and citizens of the community for ​essential emergency dental services​beginning today March 17, until April 1st, 2020.

The office will be open from ​7:30am to 7:30pm; Monday- Friday​,and ​7:30am to 1:30p​m on Saturdays​during this time.

Essential Emergency Dental Services Include:

● Pain ● Bleeding ● Loose Teeth
● Swelling ● Trauma ● Broken Fillings
● Infections/Abscess ● Broken Teeth ● Acute Gum Disease

Accura Dental Care is taking additional precautions to assist in slowing the spread of COVID-19:

If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions, we highly recommend you postpone your appointments to a later date. Screening questions will be done before and at your appointment as appropriate:

  • Have you come into contact with anyone who has traveled internationally in the past 15 days?
  • Have you travelled internationally in the last 15 days?
  • Have you come into contact with anyone who has tested positive for the coronavirus?
  • Have you or any member of your household been to the mountains since March 7? *
  • Do you currently have a cold?
  • Have you been sick in the past 14 days?
  • Do you currently have a fever?
  • Have you had a fever in the past 14 days?

A patient’s temperature screening will also be performed. If the temperature is above 99.1F, we will consider delaying treatment.

Accura Dental Care adheres to the highest standards of sterilization recommendations by OSHA, the CDC and the Colorado Dept. of Health. Healthcare offices manage contagious diseases every day of operation. However, our office is taking extra precautions and measures to ensure the best possible management of the COVID-19 situation including hospital grade HEPA air filtration, UV sterilization, virtual waiting rooms, pre-blocked scheduling to encourage social distancing, monitoring and controlling risk factors (e.g., older age; presence of chronic medical conditions, including immunocompromising conditions; pregnancy), promote frequent and thorough hand washing, including by providing workers, customers, and worksite visitors with a place to wash their hands.

Your individual treatment plan will be based on the severity of your TMJ troubles and your specific symptoms. Our goal is to stop you from causing more damage to your teeth and to end the pains you have been feeling.

Do Something to Stop Your Jaw Pain

Many people clench or grind their teeth as a way of coping with stress. Unfortunately, this can lead to earaches, headaches, and pains in your jaw, face, and neck. Some patients also have soreness in their upper back and shoulders. When these become chronic issues, this is a clue that you could have a TMJ disorder. This can make everyday activities like eating and speaking a source of pain for you.

People often don’t realize they are grinding their teeth because they do it while they are asleep. This may be why you often wake up with a sore jaw or a throbbing pain in your head. Grinding your teeth together also can wear down the enamel of your teeth. As you do this, you raise your risk for cavities, gum disease, and tooth infections.

It’s also worth noting that TMJ has been linked to untreated sleep apnea in some instances. If there’s good news about this, it’s that we can help with that, too.

You can live free from jaw pain. Come to Accura Dental for our Colorado Springs TMJ treatment. Call our office today at 719-249-2854 to get started with a free consultation.
