Staying healthy this cold season, from Bridgeview Dental

Cold and flu season is now underway in Portland and surrounding areas - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that a common cold usually includes sneezing, runny nose, sore throat and coughing. Symptoms can last for up to two weeks, sometimes longer.

To promote a healthy and clean environment, our entire staff at Bridgeview Dental give a great deal of attention to sanitation and sterilization in our downtown Portland office at all times, as well as following all requirements for sterilizing instruments and work surfaces. We are happy to see patients with who have the common cold or minor viruses. For patients experiencing a fever 101 or are vomiting, we recommend re-scheduling appointments for the protection of other patients.

And remember to constantly wash your hands and avoid contact with those who are ill! Happy Monday and have a great week!
