Important Information Regarding COVID-19

At this time the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association, and the State of California, have instructed oral surgeons to only treat dental emergencies at this time. All other appointments will be rescheduled. We apologize for the inconvenience but it is for the safety of those at high risk for illness and our community as a whole.

Symptoms of coronavirus are reported as flu-like, with varying degrees of severity. While we do not know everything about this virus to date, individuals who are elderly and/or immunocompromised appear to be the most at risk of a severe infection. To ensure your health and safety, and the health and safety of everyone at our practice, please reschedule your appointment if you or a member of your household has a cough, fever, and/or flu-like symptoms.

Before your appointment we will perform a health screening over the phone. When you arrive at the office you will be asked to you wash your hands. Please do not put your hands in your mouth while at the office. We will also check your temperature. With the exception of those accompanying minors, elderly, or those assisting with translation, we ask that your companions wait in their car. They are, of course, welcome to use the restroom as needed.

In recognition of ongoing news reports and the continued spread of the COVID-19 virus, we realize our patients have questions. As dedicated health care professionals, we want you to know that we remain as diligent as ever in protecting the health and safety of our patients and staff. Our practice strictly adheres to and exceeds the standards for infection control by wearing personal protective gear, using hospital-grade disinfectants, practicing the latest sterilization protocols, utilizing single-use disposable materials, and more. Every effort we have in place is to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. We want you to know that we are monitoring this situation very closely, and we will keep you updated regularly.

We thank you in advance and extend our gratitude for your understanding and cooperation. Together, we can help keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office, and one of our staff members will be more than happy to assist you.
