To Our Valued Patients,
The doctors at Papania Family Dentistry have been carefully following the guidelines and recommended precautions that have been put into place to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. After reviewing them, we feel comfortable keeping our office open at this time. We will continue to practice standard infection control and additional sanitation processes throughout the office to help provide a safe and healthy environment for our patients, staff and families.
We kindly ask you to reschedule your appointment if you, or anyone in your family, have a fever, cough, have traveled out of the country in the last 30 days or have any other COVID-19 symptoms,(https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html)
As an office, we will be implementing the following guidelines to help keep everyone healthy:
The reception area will only be open to patients and one essential family member if needed.
To help minimize the number of people in the office, we ask that you do not bring siblings, friends or relatives to your appointments.
If you or anyone you’ve been around have any flu-like symptoms, please reschedule your appointment.
When a parent or guardian is accompanying your children, we ask that only one parent, instead of both, attend the appointment.
Please wash your hands for 30 seconds with soap and water as often as you can.
In addition to our standard levels of sterilization and disinfection, we will be sterilizing the common areas throughout the office several times during the day.
If you have traveled outside of the country in the last 30 days, please reschedule.
On behalf of the entire team at Papania Family Dentistry, we thank you, for your understanding, flexibility and adherence to the health and safety protocols. We will continue to monitor and follow along with the COVID -19 situation and will update you if anything changes.
Stay healthy and see you soon!
