Office Safety
Healthy visits start before families walk through the door.
This page preserves the old COVID-19 URL while keeping the content current: practical safety reminders, illness guidance, and infection-control basics for routine dental visits.
If your child is sick
Please call before the appointment if your child has a fever, contagious illness, vomiting, or symptoms that would make a dental visit uncomfortable.
- The team can help decide whether to reschedule
- Emergency dental pain or swelling should still be discussed by phone
- Please update the office about recent medical changes
Infection-control basics
Dental offices follow strict cleaning, sterilization, and disinfection procedures between patients.
- Clinical surfaces are cleaned between visits
- Dental instruments are sterilized using standard dental protocols
- Hand hygiene and protective barriers are part of routine care
Keeping preventive care on track
Delaying dental care can allow small cavities, gum irritation, or pain to become more serious. If you are unsure whether to come in, call the office.
- Routine cleanings help prevent bigger problems
- Tooth pain, swelling, or trauma should be addressed quickly
- The team will help choose the safest timing for your child's visit
