Dear Valued Patients,
We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. We are excited to let you know that we are resuming all non-essential and elective treatment.
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 you and your family’s oral health needs and safety.
Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice, as you may have witnessed during your visits. The safety and comfort of our dear patients and staff is of utmost importance.
Our office has always adhered to the guidelines published by Health Canada, the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario, and the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario, and continues to do so.
You will see some changes when you attend your upcoming appointments.
● Our office will communicate with you beforehand to review Covid-19 screening questions, and the same screening questions will be asked again upon your arrival.
● We will call your mobile phone when we are ready to allow you entrance into the building. Until then, you will be asked to wait in your car. If you do not have a mobile phone, you are welcome to knock on our front door and we will come out to let you know when we are ready to see you.
● You will see additional signage regarding Covid-19 symptoms, cough etiquette, etc.
● Our administrative staff will be behind a barrier or be wearing masks and eye protection..
● We will request hand sanitization upon entry.
● We will need you to wear your own mask (cloth or homemade masks are GREAT!).
● We will take your temperature, and if no sign of a fever, you will be escorted directly to the operatory.
● After completion of treatment you will be required to wear your mask.
● You will be escorted to the administration desk for any necessary billing and or appointment scheduling.
● We request that you maintain a 6 ft distance from the admin staff if possible, and keep your mask on at all times, except when receiving treatment.
● We request that if you develop any Covid-19 symptoms, 0-14 days after your appointment, you contact the office and inform the administrative staff.
● We request payment via debit or visa if possible, avoiding cash.
● We are disinfecting all touch surfaces frequently, and have increased housekeeping services.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 905-279-9998 or cawthradental@yahoo.com.
We appreciate your patience, trust and loyalty during this time, and look forward to seeing you soon!
Sincerely,
Cawthra Dental Management
