Dear Healthy Dental Patients, Family, and Friends,
We hope this message finds you and your family in good health. Maryland has amended the stay-at-home order and dental offices are now approved to provide elective procedures. Based on Governors orders and Department of health recommendation we are back for routine dental care from 05/18/2020 (Monday)
While many things have changed, our commitment to your safety has not. We have been working diligently over the last few weeks to implement expanded infection control protocols to assure safety of our patients and team members. Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:
- Our office will communicate with you to ask some screening questions while confirming your appointment. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.
- We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and Treatment rooms in the office for you to use as needed.
- You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
Our offices now have also Sneeze Barriers throughout our Front Desk area for better protection.
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. Your safety is our number one priority. To make an appointment, please call our office at 301-882-8888 or visit our website at www.healthydental.com.
Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.
Healthy Dental Team
