As recommended by the American Dental Association and the Illinois State Dental Society, our office will be postponing all non-emergency procedures through the end of the month. Our office will be staffed to answer any questions that you may have.
For those patients that we do have coming in, extra precautions will be taken as listed below:
- We will pre-screen patients by phone prior to the visit by asking about recent travel history and current health. Specific COVID-19 symptoms are fever, coughing and shortness of breath. If the patient reports these symptoms, we will refer them to their primary care physician.
- When possible, we will ask patients to remain in their cars instead of coming into the waiting room. Notify them by cell phone when their treatment room is ready.
- We will minimize the number of patients in the reception area and maintain space between patients per CDC guidelines.
- We will take your temperature immediately upon arrival.
- We will have patients wash hands in the operatory and use a mouth rinse prior to their appointment.
- We will clean and disinfect public areas frequently, including door handles, chairs and bathrooms.
- We've removed all reading materials and children’s toys/books from the waiting room.
