At Park Dental Care we are committed to the health and well-being of all our patients and their families. In the midst of the current Coronavirus pandemic, we would like to take this opportunity to reassure you that while we continue to give quality dental care to our patients, we are actively monitoring and implementing the rapidly changing guidelines from the CDC, the Ohio Department of Health, and Butler County Departments of Health, and the American Dental Association.
What we are doing:
1. Aggressively cleaning and disinfecting our waiting rooms, patient rooms and dental chairs and common “touch points” to include all doorknobs, banisters, and restrooms.
2. In addition to our highest standards of disinfection (Universal Precautions have always employed), we are removing all magazines, etc from our reception area infection control purposes.
3. We are requesting that families limit non-essential people during office visits and when possible only bring the child/patient being seen for a visit.
4. We are requesting that older individuals, especially those medically compromised, unless being seen for an emergency visit, not come to the office.
5. If you or anyone in your family has a cough, fever, sore throat, and/or shortness of breath, please reschedule your dental appointment. The CDC recommends that you stay home until free from any symptoms for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing or cough suppressant medication. Our office then recommends waiting 2 weeks before rescheduling your appointment.
6. If a patient is returning from international travel from an area with widespread transmission of Coronavirus (China, Japan, Italy, Iran, and South Korea), please reschedule your appointment for 2 weeks after your return home.
Our staff is committed to maintaining the quality of our care during this period of concern. As this is a rapidly evolving situation, we will continue to share updates through email and our page.
