Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing remains the same: our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visit to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that you receive care both safe and comfortably.

Our office is following infection control recommendations made by the America Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies recommendations.

You may see some changes when it's time for your next appointment such as:

• Our office will ask you screening questions before you come in for your appointment and once again when you arrive
• Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the office. We ask that you use as soon as you arrive for your appointment.
• We will no longer offer magazines or children's toys in our waiting room
• Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients and allow greater time between appointments to reduce the number of people in the reception area at once.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have!
