**COVID-19 UPDATE**
May 4, 2020
Dear Present and Future Patients (aka ‘Sweet Peeps’), Friends and Family,
Sweet Family Dentistry will begin normal business hours on Monday, May 11th.
The safety of our patients and team members is our highest priority, therefore, we’ve implemented some extra precautions regarding COVID-19 in addition to universal precautions that include:
- Patient screening including contactless temperature checks. All patients must have a temperature of less than 100 degrees to be seen
- Practice social distancing. Only the patient (and 1 legal guardian of a minor patient) can be in the operatory. All other people must wait in the car or outside the office. The waiting area will be closed for the time being.
- New patients are encouraged to fill out new patient forms on our website prior to their appointment
- All team members will be wearing face masks at all times in the office and we require our patients/companion to have face-covering within the office as well except during actual treatment.
- All patients 8 y.o and older will be provided pre-treatment hydrogen peroxide oral rinse
- Frequent full office disinfection will be done throughout the day along with standard operatory disinfection after each patient
We will continue to evaluate proper COVID-19 prevention protocols as situation changes. Thank you for trusting us and we will always be there for you!
With sincere love,
Drs. Derek Chan, Josephine Yip, and staff (The ‘Sweet Squad’)
