This would be funny if it wasn’t true! We hope you and yours are staying healthy and well. We’re here and safe and ready to serve you!

Meet the newest additions to our office! These two UV filtration systems purify our air and remove/sterilize aerosols that contain pathogens including viruses! One lives in the reception area and the other is centrally located in the clinical area. You can feel comfortable knowing that we are taking steps beyond what is required to ensure your health and safety! We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Stay safe and we hope you and yours are well! -Dr. Mark

You’ve heard how important it is to wash your hands for 20 seconds at time. Not only does hand washing mechanically remove bugs from your hands (including bad actors like Covid-19), soap actually causes the cell walls of the Covid-19 virus to break apart and leak its contents! When the cell wall of Covid-19 breaks open the virus is no longer able to infect. So wash your hands! Please know that we ARE able to see emergency patients at this time so if you need us to address a dental emergency don’t hesitate to call. We miss you all! -Dr. Mark

COVID-19 UPDATE! We have made the decision to close Koup Family Dental for at least two weeks effective today. We are following the guidelines of the CDC and the American Dental Association as to the duration of our closure. We will be available for emergency care if needed so do call us if you need emergent care. We will be in contact to re-schedule appointments and look forward to serving you again in the office in the very near future. Please stay well and our best wishes to you and your families during this time. Thank you! -Dr. Mark

A special message for our patients and families: We wanted to inform you that we are doing our part in the prevention of spreading the COVID-19 Virus. We are thorough in our Infection Control that we practice at Koup Family Dental. We will be taking extra precautions in our common areas as well; the waiting room, front desk areas, patient bathrooms and child area- removing all magazines, books, newspapers and toys that cannot be wiped down for the next few weeks -and sanitizi...ng door handles, frequently touched desk areas/surfaces, and chair armrests throughout the day. With the recent news and public impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) our team wanted to share some of the protocols we have in place to protect your health and wellness at your dental visit: -We will be taking your temperature before providing care. Sterilization and Pathogen Control: -Our dental practice always maintains the highest cleanliness standards and sterilization protocols using OSHA-approved disinfectants and/or the barrier method to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. -We use medical-grade disinfectants and cleaners shown to eliminate bacteria and viruses. -All instruments are sterilized using OSHA-approved methods between each patient. Many of our instruments and supplies are designed for single use. Once used, they are immediately disposed of safely. Sterilization equipment is maintained daily, tested weekly and certified regularly per federal guidelines. -Common areas like reception desks, restrooms, and consultation areas are all regularly cleaned and sterilized to prevent disease spread outside of the treatment room. We have safety protocols in place in the event that any of our patients or dental team are exposed to coronavirus. -Please contact us right away if any of the following conditions apply: You have a cough, fever, shortness of breath, or flu-like symptoms or have traveled to Iran, China, South Korea or Italy in the last month or if you have had contact with anyone who has been exposed to the coronavirus. -We are happy to reschedule appointments for patients who feel unwell or suspect they may have COVID-19. -It will be business as usual for the Koup Family Dental team while following the above precautions. We have no immediate plans to close the office but will evaluate and follow federal agency guidelines should such a measure become mandated. We appreciate you and please stay well! Your Koup Family Dental team

Dr. Mark demonstrating the power of digital x-rays in discovering an issue before it becomes a problem. No-annual cleanings and x-rays are highly recommended for PREVENTION so even if you think you’re teeth are perfect, as Ben Franklin said... an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
