Dear Friends and Family,

We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.

Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

·         We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.

·         We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time. 

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment or if you have any questions, please call our office at 480-961-7400 or visit our website at dulvickdentistry@gmail.com.

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.

Warmest Regards,

 

Roger J. Dulvick, D.D.S.

Diana H. Wang-Dulvick, D.D.S.

IMPORTANT: If you are experiencing coronavirus symptoms such as a cough, fever, or shortness of breath, flu like symptoms, like headache, fatigue, and loss of taste or smell, please contact our office before your appointment.   

We want to reassure you that our office will continue to protect our patients via state-of-the-art infection control practices. The use of personal protective equipment including masks, gloves, protective eye wear and proper attire has led to better protection for our staff and patients.  Our use of disinfectants, up-to-date sterilization practices, dedicated hand washing, and one-time-use disposable materials also have all helped facilitate safe dental visits for our patients.  All of these practices and precautions are a routine part of our practice and follow the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Standard Precautions guidelines.
