**UPDATED March 22nd/ 2023: WE WELCOME ALL NEW PATIENTS!**

All new patients and emergencies are welcome! We continue to implement most COVID measures to keep you safe.

To this day, we are pleased to announce that through our efforts of keeping patients safe, we have yet to hear of any patient to staff, staff to patient, staff to staff, or patient to patient transmission of COVID at our clinic since the start of the pandemic. Although it is no guarantee of safety, we are happy that this statement still applies.

We will continue to have these additional precautions in place to maximize everyone’s protection.

PROTECTIVE MEASURES FOR YOUR SAFETY

1. We have brought in a mechanical engineer to measure the air turnover rate in each of our operatories. Each room has 2 HEPA filter purifiers which are effective in removing COVID virus that may be present in the air. We also have a fallow time between patients to minimize any chance of transmission of the virus as well. Out of an abundance of precaution, we also have placed 2 HEPA filters in the reception area.
2. We need to ask you some screening questions before your appointment.
3. We will be wearing more protective gear such as face shields, gowns, and N95 masks.
4. A large barrier will be placed on the reception desk, and chairs will be at least 6 feet apart in the waiting room.
5. Pens will only be used once at the front and disinfected. You will be asked to take a pen from the “Clean” canister and place it in the “Used” canister when finished.

We look forward to seeing you soon, if you have any questions, please call or email us. Thank you for your patience and loyalty. We value your trust and we look forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,

The Dental Team at Hollidge Family Dentistry
