COVID-19 Update for Our Valued Patients

March 22, 2020- Update For Patients

Following recommendations from the American Dental Association, our offices have postponed elective procedures for the next three weeks in response to the spread of the coronavirus disease, COVID-19, across the country.

Concentrating on emergency dental care will allow us to care for our emergency patients and alleviate the burden dental emergencies would place on hospital emergency departments.

We will continue to follow the direction of The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Department of Homeland Security, which have categorized healthcare as a critical infrastructure industry, in addition to the food supply and pharmaceutical industries.

At White Brown Smiles, we have a special responsibility to maintain our commitment to patients with dental emergencies. You can count on us to be here for you and provide you with frequent updates and recommendations during these unprecedented times.

It’s critical that we all do our part to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

What We’re Doing Differently:

• All elective procedures have been postponed until April 6th or later.
• If you have a dental emergency (pain, swelling, infection, broken or poking orthodontic wire or appliance) please call our office at (phone number). Our phones are answered 24 hours per day and our specialists are ready and available to assist you.
• New and existing patients with orthodontic problems will be seen in accordance with existing social-distancing, infection control and temperature screening protocol established for our offices.
