Our office has always followed strict infection control standards. Now there are additional levels of protection in place to create the safest environment for you, other patients and our team during the pandemic and for the future. We have new rules and protocols in place to keep patients, staff and dentists protected. Here is what you can expect when you come in for your appointment. Our region is in Stage 3, but we continue to follow the guidance of our public health officials and strictly stick to proper safety procedures to lower the risk of COVID-19 transmission, in and out of the office. That includes physical distancing, wearing masks and screening.
