Is Dental Care Safe in Mexico? Top COVID Considerations before you Travel for Treatment

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Jan. 11, 2021 - PRLog -- The COVID-19 impact has resulted in the world closed around us, but Mexico became a top hot-spot quickly for people across the border in the United States. Even with the health travel restrictions, Americans across the border flooded popular destinations like Los Algodones, Tijuana, Mexicali, Cancun, and Puerto Vallarta, especially for dental treatments. Due to significant cost savings and a highly convenient location, Americans and Canadians needing major dental work crossed the border for various procedures.

However, the global impact of coronavirus imposed fear in people's minds. It is now particularly important to check and understand the clinics' COVID-19 measures before booking a treatment.

During the COVID era, the new standard of care for dental clinics and guidelines to follow includes factors such as:

• All necessary paperwork must be filled by the patients before the appointment (including COVID symptoms documentation).
• Using extra personal protective equipment (PPE) is recommended.
• COVID symptoms and temperature checking of all patients.
• COVID test results of international patients
• Using hand sanitizers while entering the clinic. Some clinics also have hand washrooms and ask patients to use them before and after appointments.
• Ensure a minimum 6 ft. distance between everyone entering the clinic.
• Reducing the time spent in waiting areas.
• Frequent disinfecting and cleaning of all operatories and surfaces.
• Safe injection practices
• Respiratory cough/hygiene etiquette

Leading Dental Clinics in Mexico are raising the Bar of Safety Parameters

Many dental clinics in Mexico (https://www.placidway.com/search-medical-centers/Dentistr...) not just remain committed to providing dental care to patients, but also monitor the pandemic situation continuously in their region. The patients must search for such dental clinics that seriously follow standard infection control recommendations by the government or independent bodies like CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

Some dental clinics are also implementing high-end technology to raise the level of sanitization to their clinical surroundings. For example, some clinics are using advanced air filtration technology that safely controls airborne bacteria, fine air particles, and surface pathogens continuously. According to the experts, using such technology is more effective than chemical solutions to destroy harmful surface and airborne bacteria, fungal spores, and viruses.

To maintain and improve a safe environment, the clinics might impose a marginal additional fee. Patients must understand that it is justified when the dental clinic is following safety protocols and upgrading equipment for your safety. So, let's take a look at some top COVID considerations before traveling to Mexico for dental treatment.
