To Our KC Dental Works Family
We hope this finds you and your families in excellent health! We are thrilled to get back to our normal schedule and routines as I am sure you all are as well. Over the past two months we have been taking care of our patients’ emergent dental needs, both in person as well as through teledentistry. On May 26th we will begin seeing patients for all levels of care, including dental cleaning appointments.
If your appointment was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, we will be reaching out to you in the coming weeks to reschedule. If you are experiencing any symptoms of any contagious illness, we ask that you let us know so we can take that into consideration when we are scheduling your visit.
As a holistic and biological dental practice, we have always been extremely focused on your health and safety and in many ways, this has put us ahead of the curve with many of the new recommendations being put out by the governing bodies. With that in mind we have been working hard researching the latest and greatest technologies in infection control and we have implemented some new protocols and strategies to take our care to the next level. Our decisions have been solidly grounded in science and research rather than grasping at fear-based models to give an appearance of safety. As always, we strive daily to make choices that are wise and keep your safety and the safety of our team as a top priority. I do ask for your patience and understanding along the way, keeping in mind our goal is to provide the best possible care in the safest environment possible.
You will notice some changes at your next visit, some might be short term, but most will be long term as we desire to implement protocols that are proactive rather than reactive. Our reception lounge is open to our patients. We ask that you arrive 10 minutes early for your visit and we ask that you do the following when you arrive:
Minors may be accompanied parents or caregivers. We know it is challenging when parents are taking care of multiple children, but we are asking that siblings who are not receiving dental care stay with another parent or caregiver. Siblings that may be receiving care the same day will need to stay out of the treatment room as this will allow our providers to be able to give the best possible care to their current patient. Again, we know this is a new protocol and can be challenging for parents, but this is especially important in order to be able to focus on each of our patient’s needs and treatment.
We look forward to seeing you all and are more than happy to answer any questions you might have. It has always been our goal to provide an environment where cleanliness and safety of our patients and our team is paramount.
