Important update

As  of  Monday May 18, 2020,  we  will return  to  our  regular  office  hours.  We ask for your patience as we spread appointments out and still continue to practice social distancing while in our office. We will be doing everything possible to keep our patients and staff as protected as we can. This will include asking you to wait in your car until your treatment room is ready and to not bring  family members to your appointment.    Please  notify   us prior  to  your  appointment  if you  or  a  family  member  that  you  live  with  has or has had any symptoms that could be related to COVID19. These symptoms include cough, fever, aches,  chills and a sudden loss of taste or smell. We will ask  that  you  call  us  from  your  car  when  you  arrive  for  your  appointment.    We  will  be  asking  you  some  screening  questions before your appointment to verify that you currently or recently haven’t had any symptoms  that  could  be  attributed  to  COVID19.   We will also be taking your temperature upon arrival.     We  also  ask  that  you  please  wear  a  face  covering  as  you  enter  and  leave  our  office.    At  this  time  there  is  a  shortage  of  all  medical  masks  so  we  are  unable  to  provide  one  to  you  and  we  ask  that  you  please  arrive  with  your  own  in  place.    Fabric  face  coverings  are  perfect!    We have implemented some engineering practices that we hope will reduce the possibility of spreading the virus through our building such  as  multiple  air  purifiers  and  redesigning  our  protocols  to  decrease  aerosol  generation.    Although  we  can  not  claim  the  risk  is  zero  we  will  make  every  effort to  minimize  the  likelihood of  spreading  the  virus  through  our  office.    If  you have any questions about how your care will proceed, or if you are in a higher risk population please call to discuss your upcoming appointment. We have dedicated our first appointments of the day to patients that have medical conditions that put them at higher risk of developing severe complications associated with COVID19. We miss you all and look forward to seeing your smile soon!  If you are having a dental emergency, please call 330-673-6830.
