Dr. Walailak Kiatthanaakorn, Senior Director of the Dental Center at Bangkok Hospital and Dr. Veeraporn Veeraprawat, Assistant Medical Director at Bangkok Hospital, along with Dr. Suchada Kongkiatkamol, have given interviews to the press and provided tours of the Dental Center focusing on its readiness to offer dental services and online consultations for all dental health issues by specialists during the COVID-19 pandemic. Emergency and urgent dental care is still available for patients with accidents, toothache, swollen gums, broken teeth rendering them unusable, or even cancer patients who need to prepare their mouths before radiation treatment. The dental team is fully prepared to take care of you.
We emphasize the importance of triage and screening, arranging different zones according to procedures and patient risks, both for treatment areas and waiting areas, adhering to social distancing principles. Furthermore, we focus on treatment processes that enhance patient and medical staff confidence, including wearing PPE, using high-powered saliva ejectors both inside and outside the mouth, saliva barrier sheets, in collaboration with SCG we have designed an Aerosol Protective Chamber or Dent Guard as equipment to prevent dispersion, and chosen to use Negative Pressure Rooms for patients screened as high risk. Additionally, Teleconsultation services allow patients to communicate directly with dental professionals for accurate advice.
Bangkok Hospital Dental Center aims to help patients smile again by offering dental services equipped with both essential and newly developed (Innovative Equipment) tools to enhance treatment effectiveness. Importantly, we have teams of dentists, nurses, and staff with high levels of expertise and experience to ensure patients are confident in their treatments because we care about every aspect of our patients’ oral health.
