Important Information Regarding COVID-19

In recognition of ongoing news reports and the continued spread of the COVID-19 virus, we realize our patients have questions. As dedicated health care professionals, we want you to know that we remain as diligent as ever in protecting the health and safety of our patients and staff.

As of March 17, and under the guidance of the American Dental Association and the RI Department of Health, we are postponing non-urgent dental care for 21 days.  We will re-evaluate this after 21 days and continue to follow guidance from the American Dental Association and Department of Health.

We will be consolidating our care to our Newport location and will have staff available to answer your calls from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm.  During these times, we will also be available for urgent dental care.  If you are in need of  urgent care, please call us.  We will be screening all patients for signs and symptoms of cold, flu, or COVID-19 as well as taking temperatures of all staff and patients.  Our practice strictly adheres to and exceeds the standards for infection control by wearing personal protective gear, using hospital-grade disinfectants, practicing the latest sterilization protocols, utilizing single-use disposable materials, and more. Every effort we have in place is to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. We want you to know that we are monitoring this situation very closely, and we will keep you updated regularly.

Symptoms of coronavirus are reported as flu-like, with varying degrees of severity. While we do not know everything about this virus to date, individuals who are elderly and/or immunocompromised appear to be the most at risk of a severe infection. To ensure your health and safety, and the health and safety of everyone at our practice, please reschedule your appointment if you or a member of your household has a cough, fever, and/or flu-like symptoms. In addition, please reschedule your appointment if you have traveled to any areas within the past 14 days that are at high risk for contracting the coronavirus.

We thank you in advance and extend our gratitude for your understanding and cooperation. Together, we can help keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office, and one of our staff members will be more than happy to assist you.
