Earlier today the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has updated its 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. Therefore, at first we will not be scheduling to full capacity and we ask for your patience. 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 be asked the same questions when you arrive at your appointment. We apologize ahead of time for this inconvenience but it is necessary for you and your child’s safety.
– You and your child’s temperature will be taken at the time of the visit. If you or your child has a fever you will be asked to reschedule the appointment for no sooner than 2 weeks and you will be asked to be tested for COVID19.
– All parents/patients must wear a mask in the waiting room until the Governor has indicated otherwise.
– Please do not bring extra children or extended family to your child’s appointment.
– All magazines and toys have been removed from the waiting room to avoid other modes of contaminated contact.
– Hand sanitizer will be available for your use in the waiting room. We are sorry but we do not have extra masks to give out.
We appreciate your understanding and we thank you for your help in keeping everyone safe.
Drs. Kollmann & Furusho and the team at Dentistry for Kids.
