COVID-19 Update:

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 has remained 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 visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it's both safe and comfortable.

Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the 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 that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies' recommendations.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

1. If you are not feeling well, have a fever, or have been in contact with an ill person in the past seven days, we ask that you do not come into our office. We will reschedule your appointment.
2. Please come alone if possible. If someone must come with you we prefer they remain in the car if possible to avoid over crowding in the reception room.
3. There will be hand wipes in the reception room and we ask that you use them when you arrive.
4. As of June 2nd masks will not be mandated. Dr. Joseph still recommends a mask if you have not been vaccinated.
5. Please observe social distancing where ever possible.
6. We will provide you with an antiseptic rinse when you are seated for your procedure.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice.

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.

Sincerely,
Dentist and Team
