Cold and flu season is upon us, are you prepared?
September 28th, 2012
It’s that time of year to start thinking about protecting yourself and your family from the flu. Here are some simple steps you can take to help yourself avoid colds and the flu this season.
• Wash your hands before and after brushing
• Allow the brush to air dry after each use, harmful bacteria dies after being exposed to oxygen
• Store the toothbrush in an upright position to allow water to drain and dry faster
• Replace toothbrush after every cold or flu or every 3-4 months when bristles appear worn
To promote a healthy and clean environment, our team gives a great deal of attention to sanitation and sterilization in our office at all times, as well as following all requirements for sterilizing instruments and work surfaces.
For the protection of other patients and our staff, we always ask that patients reschedule their appointments if they have any type of cold or illness that can infect others. We hope this helps and give us a call if you have any questions!
Stay healthy this beautiful autumn!
Unfortunately, not every student begins the year with the school supplies they need to make the grade. Stafford County Public Schools coordinates a school supply drive every summer to help students in need get ready for the upcoming school year. The school system partners with Stafford County Social Services so the backpacks/school supplies are received by specific individuals identified as having financial need.
