Covid-19 Info

Dear valued patients of Tooth by the Lake,  

Because the safety of our patients and staff has always been a priority, we have instituted the following measures to ensure that safety:

• Pre-screening for all patients
• Reducing wait times and exposures in all areas of the clinics
• Adjusting clinic schedules to better accommodate patient needs and requiring face masks to be worn by staff and patients at all times.

In addition, we have enhanced our personal protective equipment use and intensified our cleaning protocols to ensure everyone’s safety. While guidelines for best practices are continually changing, we are confident that as a private clinic we are able to quickly adapt and ensure the safety of those who trust us with their healthcare needs, and will continue to do so moving forward.

For those of you arriving to our clinics for an appointment, some important changes are being made. As we increase our safety measures, we are asking for your help as well. The following requirements have been put in place to ensure everyone’s safety.

• You are required to bring a mask or face covering and wear it throughout your entire visit. This is not only for your protection but for the protection of those around you.

• When possible, arrive to your appointment alone. Of course, for minors and adults needing assistance, a guardian or caretaker will be welcome in the exam room as well.  We ask that they also wear a mask or face covering.

• Do not schedule an appointment if you have a fever, cough, loss of smell, taste, or any respiratory symptoms.   If you have a previously scheduled appointment and are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, we ask that you cancel your appointment and reschedule when you are symptom-free. By working together we can help reduce the risk and exposure to COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses.   

 We look forward to caring for you!
