May 7, 2020
Dear Esteemed Patient:
We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your oral health and safety.
On May 7th, 2020, Governor Larry Hogan lifted the “Stay at home” order and allowed us to return to provide dentistry for our patients. We are excited to see everyone again. As you have already known, cases for Covid-19 are still relevant. We have been working diligently to improve our services and protocols to help prevent the spread of the disease and to protect our team, our patients, and our community. We will resume our services in phases. At this time, for the first two weeks, we will take care of our urgent cases that were postponed during the “Stay at home” order. We will resume the regular hygiene appointments at the beginning of June.
Our office follows the infection control recommendations put forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Maryland Board of Dentistry, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and American Dental Association (ADA). We monitor all updates to stay on top of new rulings or guidelines that are issued. This ensures our infection control procedures remain current and always adhere to all of the mandates and recommendations. Due to these updated guidelines you will see our staff wearing extra protective equipment including gowns, eye protection, bonnets, face shields, and gloves. We have added a few more safeguards around the office to help protect our patients and staff.
These new protocols include for patients:
New Protocols for the Team:
New Protocols for the Facility:
These additional steps are being taken to keep you safe in our office. We are excited to see you soon and are happy to answer any questions you may have. To make an appointment, please call our office at (240) 477-8251 or visit our website at darnestownsmiles.com.
Thank you for trusting us with your oral health. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this unusual time.
Warm regards,
Drs. Sridevi Yellepeddy and Hema Patel
