Interim Infection Prevention and Control for

Coronavirus COVID-19

last updated: 08-19-2020

 

•If you are ill with flulike symptoms, you should reschedule your appointment.

​

•If you have been exposed to someone else who was diagnosed with COVID-19 or who was

quarantined as a precaution, wait 14 days until you see your dentist to make sure you have not caught COVID-19. 

​

•If you are healthy, there’s no need to cancel your regularly scheduled dental appointment at this moment, we are closely monitoring the CDC and other federal and state health entities guidelines.

​

•Please limit the number of companions to one parent or guardian for minors and one companion for adults with disabilities. Companions may be asked to stay in the lobby.​

​

•You may remain inside your car in the parking lot and call the office to check-in. We will call you as soon as the treating room is ready for you.

​

•You must wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth while in the office and the common areas of the building.

​

•Once you arrive to our office please ring the doorbell and wait for a staff member to greet you outside to do a symptoms screening before walking in.

​

•If you test positive for COVID-19 within the next 14 days after your last visit to our office, please call us.

​

Here are a few things you can do on your own to help keep yourself and those around you healthy:

​

Wash your hands frequently or use a hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent ethyl alcohol.

​

Avoid touching your face, eyes or nose to reduce the spread of germs.

​

Cover your cough or sneeze with your elbow. Infections like the coronavirus spread through the tiny droplets in coughs and sneezes.

​

Stay home if you feel sick. If you have flulike symptoms or otherwise feel unwell, stay home and rest. Call your dentist to reschedule your appointment for a later date. This will reduce the risk of spreading your illness.
