Clinic closure announcement.
Dear valued clients and friends,
Regrettably we took the difficult decision last week to temporarily close the practice. This decision was made in the interest of our patients, staff and the public at large. We must all try flatten the curve.
We have also received directives from the Cyprus dental association and Ministry of Health advising closure.
The unfortunate truth is that the dental environment is one of very high risk to transmit infections, such as the Corona Virus, due to aerosol formation from dental equipment, among other factors. This puts patients and staff and thus their families and subsequent contacts at high risk. As our valued customers know, our patients oral and overall health has and will always be our priority.
I encourage all to take the current situation very seriously and STAY HOME.
We are seeing from our colleagues around Europe and most of the rest of the world that dental services are essentially closed. This will likely be indefinite, until new protocols and PPE (personal protection equipment) can be applied to every day practice in order to keep everyone safe.
We hope for a speedy resolution to the current global situation and wish all good health.
Stay home, wash your hands and SMILE!
Dr. Nicholas Paphitis
