2022 COVID-19 UPDATE

We hope this letter finds you and yours in good health. Our community has been through a lot during this pandemic and all of us are eager to get back to our regular routines. While many things have changed, one thing remains the same: our commitment to the health and safety of our patients and team. Amid ongoing concerns about COVID-19 (also known as the coronavirus), we want to reassure our patients that your health, safety, and well-being continues to be our top priority. While many places may no longer require masking, healthcare facilities including our dental office have been directed by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Michigan Dental Association (MDA) and the CDC to continue taking certain measures to maintain the safety of our patients and team members. With that in mind, we will continue to wear masks as well as require all patients to wear a mask while in our office regardless of vaccination status. We will also continue the daily screenings of our team and continue to screen all patients upon entry to our facility. We have procedures in place to ensure a safe visit for our patients and team. Safety precautions we have undertaken include:

• Providing hand sanitizer to all patients at registration
• Exercising “social distancing” in our patient waiting areas
• Patient caregivers will be allowed in our office
• Our team practices appropriate hand hygiene and ensuring we have adequate personal protective equipment for our team. This may include:
  • Masks
  • Gloves
  • Eye protection
  • Clinic coats
• Our facilities team continues to maintain a robust sanitation routine to ensure our patient and team areas are clean and follow infection control guidelines. This includes such things as:
  • Steam heat sterilizing instruments that can tolerate this type of sterilization
  • Chemically sterilizing instruments that can tolerate this type of sterilization
  • Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with an approved COVID-19 disinfectant
  • Using covers and barriers
  • HEPA filters in all operatories
  • Routine hypocholorous acid fogging

As always, our mission to provide exceptional dental care and state-of-the-art infection control has always been a top priority. All our current infection control practices will remain in effect, and we will continue to monitor and adhere to the guidelines directed to us by the CDC, ADA and MDA. We will keep you updated as things progress. We are privileged to serve you and will continue to provide the highest level of quality care and communication around COVID-19. We make every decision with careful consideration of our patients and team. Thank you for trusting us with your health and safety. We are grateful for your loyalty and faith in us, especially during these trying times.

Sincerely,
The doctors and team at LakeView Family Dental
