As of May 12, 2020 the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has update it’s recommendations for dental treatment. They are recommending that “oral health providers resume provision of routine oral and dental care consistent with this guidance for minimizing risk of transmission of COVID-19 in an oral healthcare setting. “

Please understand as we return to the new “normal” we want to make sure that our staff and our patients are safe. Every year, we go through OSHA training and as always we will be maintaining proper infection control, following OSHA, IDPH and CDC guidelines.

The following guidelines will be implemented to assure the health and safety of our staff and patients:
– You will be asked a series of questions about you and your child’s health when you make your appointment.
– You will fill out a COVID-19 screening form when you arrive to your appointment.
– You and your child’s temperature will be taken at the time of the visit. If you or your child’s temperature is higher than 100.0 you will be asked to rescheduled the appointment for no sooner than 2 weeks and/or you will be asked to be tested for COVID-19 follow CDC guidelines for exposure.
– Anyone over the age of 2 must wear a mask while in our office until the governor has indicated otherwise.
– We ask that only one parent and only the patient(s) come to the appointment.
– Upon arrival in our parking lot we ask you call the office at 773-545-0007 to let us know you are here, we will let you know when to come in.
– All magazine and toys have been removed from the waiting room to avoid other modes of contaminated contact.
– Hand sanitizers will be available for use through out the office. We are sorry but we do not have extra masks to give out.

We apologize ahead of time for any inconvenience but it is necessary for everyone’s safety.

We appreciate your understanding and we thank you for all your help while we get through these hard and unprecedented times.
