A 120-Year Legacy of Excellence

Dear Patient,

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

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice.  Our protocols are made so that when you receive care in our office, 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 follow recommendations made by the American Dental Association (AD), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).   There has been much information made available to us and we continue to actively review it all.  We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations.  As a result of this research, you will see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff.  

We ask that you review the following information carefully and let us know if you have any questions.

• Please do not come for your appointment if you are experiencing a fever, cough, or sore throat. Or if you have been exposed to anyone with these symptoms or Covid19.

• You must wear a mask at all times while in the office unless you have been seated in a treatment room.

• Upon arriving for your appointment, please call us when you arrive in our parking lot. We will let you  know when we are ready for you to come into the office.  Please do not wait inside the building as there will be others coming and going.

• We will have you use hand sanitizer, complete a short questionnaire and we will take your temperature, blood pressure, and oxygen level upon arriving.

• Only the patient should be in the office.  Children and patients with special needs may be accompanied by one parent or caregiver, who will also be screened.

• Hand sanitizer is available throughout the office for you use. 

• Appointments are being managed to allow for social distancing between patients.  Should you need to spend a few minutes in the reception room, please seat yourself appropriately.   We have rearranged the furniture to allow safe distancing.

• We will always wear the appropriate Personal Protection Equipment and have installed air purifiers in each room. We clean items that are touched often, fog the office with a disinfectant and many other steps that you will not see but we will be doing.  

• If you have had a change in insurance or contact information, please send that to us by email to info@legacydentgroup.com prior to your appointment. This will ensure that we have the correct information ready for your appointment

We know that much has happened since your last visit.  Our goal is to keep your time in our office as efficient as possible for your comfort and safety while giving you the care you deserve.  So we may not be able to spend much time visiting with you just yet but we sincerely look forward to seeing you.

Thank you in advance for helping us help you.
