Dentists who want their team members and their patients to feel safe can become a COVID-19 antigen and/or antibody testing site via Floss Bar, a mobile dentistry company founded by Eva Sadej, that provides on-site dental services to companies.
When the pandemic shut down most workplaces, Floss Bar diversified to become one of the first providers of on-site antigen and antibody testing for corporations. Then, we further diversified to partner with dental practices that wanted to provide this service for their own teams and patients.
COVID-19 testing must be done under the supervision of a licensed medical doctor. Each dental team member who will be doing the testing is trained by Floss Bar to work for our licensed physician group as a COVID-19 Testing Technician.
The dental practice has a choice of test supplies to purchase through Floss Bar. There are 60 different possible vendors, and Floss Bar monitors the vendors’ supply levels every day so our experts can give dental offices real time data on availability.
There are two types of nose swab tests for active infection. One is Fed Ex delivered to a lab with digital results returning in 48 hours. The other type of nose swab test is processed at the point of testing. In this case, the patient receives results within 15 to 30 minutes. This latter type of test is less expensive, in high demand, and back ordered.
There are two types of antibody tests for prior infection that also will test positive for late-stage infection. The first one is a blood draw with the specimen Fed Ex shipped to a lab and digital results returning withing 48 hours. Blood draws require special licensing, so most dental practices are using the second type of test. This second type is a finger prick blood test for which results are processed at the point of testing and available within 15-30 minutes.
Providing COVID-19 testing in your dental office allows you to test your employees, as well as provide this service to your patients. When you do this, patients feel you are a safe venue for dental care. You are providing them with a needed service to get the test results they need to go back to work or school, decide to quarantine and converse with a physician, or make other COVID-19 related decisions such as travel.
When you are a provider of this service, trust in you and your team increases, your team members feel safer, and there is a profitable fee you earn from this testing.
Because dental practices don’t want everyone in the community coming in for testing, our marketing templates are designed to communicate to your patients that this is a private service for your patients.
Everything is done digitally except for the actual testing performed at your COVID-19 Testing Station by your Floss Bar trained COVID-19 Testing Technician.
Human contact with you only occurs at the point of testing for less than ten minutes.
