To all our patients and friends,

 

West End Dental has returned to normal operations, but continues to take all necessary precautions in this COVID era.

​

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, 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--all recommended by the CDC, OSHA, and the ADA.

For example:    

     -- Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. Remember to inform us if you or anyone you're in close contact with has exhibited signs of sickness in the last two weeks. This may impact how soon we can schedule you.

     -- We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.

     --We will also ask you to rinse with antimicrobial mouthwash before your dental appointment. Don't worry, it tastes great! (Breath Rx by Philips Sonicare)

      --You may see that, for the time being, our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, books, and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect. There are some brochures and business cards. If you take one, please keep it or dispose of it in the trash can.

     --If you've been here before you know that we are a small office that usually sees one patient at a time. That being said, appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. There will be more time between appointments, thus possibly less appointments available in a day. Please reserve ahead of time to get the time that's best for you.

​

We look forward to seeing you and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment or to contact us with any questions or concerns, please text or call our office at (504) 265-0822 or visit our website at www.westenddentalnola.com  

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming our patients, neighbors and friends.
