Dear Patients,
In an effort to help control the spread of the coronavirus, our office will limit appointments to essential and emergency procedures until further notice.
We are also extending our services during this trying time to be able to accommodate emergencies in the event that anyone in our community requires dental service – whether or not they are a patient of record or specifically requiring holistic dental services.
If you have an upcoming hygiene or non-urgent appointment, we will be in contact with you soon to reschedule and we will notify you when we are fully prepared to resume business as usual for all of our patients.
If you are scheduled for an urgent procedure such as a filling or root canal, your appointment will remain unchanged, but we may also contact you to see if you would like to reschedule and have your treatment completed sooner. We also want to assure you that we have implemented enhanced infection control procedures for the safety of our patients and team members. Our protocols have prevented exposure to mercury vapors using the IAOMT SMART system, but we’ve gone beyond that with 5 in 1 HEPA filtration, as well as an Ozone generator with UV light disinfection. This level of protection that has already been in place to safeguard both patients and staff will also protect us all from coronavirus exposure.
In addition to our normal high standards for infection control, we will also be checking patient temperatures prior to each appointment and asking anyone with an elevated reading to reschedule at least three weeks later.
We care about each of you and hope that you and your family will remain in good health during this difficult time.
Our phone lines will remain open to all of our patients for questions and concerns. If you are experiencing pain or have any dental emergency, please don’t hesitate to call our office at 302-239-1641 OR call the doctors directly at 610-937-0808.
