Dear patients,

In addition to our normal infection control protocols, we are implementing the latest guidelines for patient and staff safety consistent with the  CDC, OSHA, ADA and IDA recommendations. Our doctors will begin seeing scheduled patients Monday, May 18th and our hygienists will start back to cleaning teeth beginning Monday, May 25th. There is still a concern pertaining access to personal protective equipment (PPE) and schedules may need to change depending on supply.

Along with wearing different masks, face shields and coats, you will also notice some other immediate changes: for the time being, our waiting room furniture has been remodeled and scheduling time slots may be less flexible to encourage better physical distancing between patients.

Lastly, anyone entering our office will be asked to wear a face mask. If you do not have one, we will provide one. Please, if you have one, wear it! Also, anyone entering will be asked to fill out a quick screening form and have their temperature taken. Thank you for your time and cooperation!

Thank you to everyone for your trust and loyalty to our practice. We have always been committed to providing high quality dentistry to your whole family and we look forward to continuing to do that. See you all very, very soon!

Drs. Smith, Edwards & Kurtz
