Dear valued patients, Several patients have asked when our Dental office may be safely reopened for non-emergency work. This evening at 6:00pm we received an announcement from Royal College of Dental surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO) that they will not have information on when clinics should reopen until the State of Emergency has been lifted. RCDSO is in daily contact with the Ministry of Health and will let the Dentists know immediately after receiving the information. However there is no indication this will happen soon. The Chief Medical Officer of Health continues to call for tough restrictions on movement and the size of gatherings as the number of COVID-19 cases in Ontario continues to increase. At this time it appears very unlikely there will be any lessening of restrictions in April. The College continues to maintain that all non-emergency dental services should be suspended until further notice, as outlined by the Chief Medical Officer of Health for Ontario. We thank you for your understanding at this time, and hope that you and your families stay safe and healthy. We look forward to seeing you in the near future when it is safe to return to work. In case of Dental Emergency, please contact us at 647-883-0452. Sincerely, The Hume Street Dental care Team
