Upon careful consideration with the changes to the safety protocols and regulations set forth with the CDC and American Dental Association, it has been decided that we will continue to enforce the mask policy within our practice. We have many immunocompromised patients, and many patients with underlying medical conditions whom are ineligible to receive the COVID vaccination. These individuals remain at risk. The safety of all of our patients and staff members remains our top priority. Patients must wear a mask while inside the office, until they are seated in their exam chair. This policy will remain in effect and will be reconsidered by our medical advisors at a later date.
