What We're Doing To Keep You Safe During COVID-19
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, it has always been our top priority to keep you safe when you visit our clinic. Our clinic follows very strict infection control, personal protective equipment and sterilization protocols every day as part of our normal course of business. However, with COVID-19 still being a public health concern, we have updated our plan to ensure we are following the guidelines laid out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American Dental Association and the Arkansas Department of Health in order to keep you and our staff safe during this time.
Our Patients
- At the provider's discretion, patients and escorts may enter the waiting area upon arrival and are not required to wear a mask.
- At the provider's discretion, patients may be accompanied by one or more escorts/legal guardians, i.e. both parents may attend an appointment.
- All patients and escorts will encounter a simplified screening at check-in and will be asked the following question. If the answer is "Yes", non-emergency visits will be rescheduled. If it is an emergency, we will work with you to determine the best solution to receive the care you need.
- Have you been exposed to COVID-19 in the last 14 days?
