* COVID-19 STATEMENT *
Dear Patient,
As the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread, our team wants to update you about actions we are taking at the office to keep our patients and staff healthy:
First, and foremost, the Center for Disease Control and the American Dental Association have asked that all dentists suspend normal office hours and only treat patients with emergency conditions for some time, the extent of which is not known at this time. We will follow their recommendations.
In addition, we will be be following these other recommended protocols:
1. We will continue the universal health and safety precautions we always maintain at our office.
2. We will use OSHA and CDC certified sanitation methods between each patient.
3. As always, we will continue sterilizing instruments, with our trained staff (and outside sterilization consultants) monitoring this process to ensure proper sterilization.
4. To protect our most vulnerable patients, if you are elderly or immunocompromised in any way, we will ask you to postpone appointments until the COVID-19 crisis is passed.
5. We ask that, if you have traveled out of the country or have traveled to dramatically impacted areas, please postpone your appointment for at least four weeks.
6. If you have current symptoms from a cold, flu, sore throat, cough, etc., we ask that you postpone your visit to our office until you are well.
7. While you are at our office, we will encourage you to maintain the CDC’s recommended practices of frequently washing your hands, coughing into your elbow (not your hand), and keeping your hands away from your face. We’re working diligently to ensure the health and safety of our other patients and staff.
8. We will be available to treat needed emergencies. At this time that the CDC and American Dental Association has asked us to suspend normal treatment activities.
We thank you for your understanding and flexibility. If you have a dental emergency, please know that you can call us at 865-588-4472. We will keep you informed as updates occur at our office. Please know that we will always attempt to act in your best interests in giving you the best dental care possible.
Sincerely,
Gibbs M. Prevost, Jr.., D.D.S.
