AESTHETIC & GENERAL DENTISTRY

Dear Patient:

We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months. All of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice. You may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable.

Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the recommendations of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We’ve made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

• Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you arrive in the office.
• We have hand sanitizer available that we ask you to use when you enter the office.
• Our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys, and so forth.
• Appointments will be managed to allow for increased social distancing between patients. This may result in fewer scheduling options.
• In order to provide you with a safe and quality experience, we ask that additional family members or friends do not accompany you to your appointment, unless you need their assistance.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have. To make an appointment, please call our office at 253-854-6300 or email us at info@haveahappysmile.com.

We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming you back. Thank you for being part of our dental family.

Sincerely,

J. Bayard DuBois D.D.S., P.S. and Team
