We will be following the Provincial Dental Board of Nova Scotia guidelines. We will be staying current with guidelines as they change.

Due to the recent confirmation of the first community transmission of Covid-19 the Provincial Dental Board of Nova Scotia has mandated that ALL dental care not be conducted at any non-designated emergency clinics. Currently these clinics are located at Dalhousie University, IWK and the VG hospital. Please phone our office 902-861-3471 if you need to contact your dentist. We will be checking messages.

To our patients:
Your safety and the safety of our staff and community are our top priority. We are continuously monitoring the COVID pandemic and are ensuring that we make a huge effort to curb the spread of this virus. Our provincial dental board has advised that all non-essential and elective dental services be suspended. We are taking this recommendation seriously and are closing the clinic effective March 17, 2020 (Except in the case of emergency treatment set up directly with your dentist).

We will be closed for at least 2 weeks and will reassess at that time. If you have appointments scheduled within the next two weeks, these have been cancelled.

We will contact you to re-book.

Please check back regularly to our phone line for updates.

In case of emergencies please call our office and follow instructions to reach your dentist.
