COVID-19 Update
Dear Patients:
Life has been anything but normal over the past year and a half and we sincerely hope you and your family are in good health. We are happy to inform you that we are able to provide dental care for you and your family. The Ministry of Health has lifted the restrictions placed back in March of 2020. While many things have changed since then, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your health and safety.
Our office has always followed strict infection control standards and in order to keep us all protected during this pandemic and in the future, we have updated our protocols. When we see you at your next appointment, things will be a little different.
• We will ask some screening questions before your appointment and you’ll be asked those same questions again when you’re in the office.
• We will ask you to sign a consent form before your appointment. You can read this form at the bottom of the page and also print and sign it before your appointment.
• You will be asked to wait outside our office or in your car until we are prepared to bring you in for your appointment.
• We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the clinic. There are more dispensers around the office for you to use as needed.
• Our waiting room will no longer offer magazines or children’s toys since those items are difficult to fully disinfect.
• Appointments will be spaced out to allow for physical distancing between patients. That might mean less flexibility for scheduling your appointment, but it will also reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.
• You may be surprised that we’re wearing more protective gear – such as masks, face shields, gowns – than we normally do during your visit.
Rest assured, all these procedures are designed to create the safest environment for you, other patients and our team.
We look forward to seeing you again.
If you have any questions, please let us know. To make an appointment, call our office at 905-668-7797 or email us at whitbydentalreception@gmail.com
Thank you for patience and loyalty throughout this ordeal. We value your trust and look forward to welcoming you back!
Sincerely,
Dr. Atorina Sotoadeh and the Team at Whitby Dental Clinic
