Thank you for your continued trust in our practice. Please be assured that, as a matter of routine office protocol, the dentist and staff members of The Children’s Dental Centre have always strictly followed provincial and federal regulations and guidelines relating to infection control protocols established for limiting transmission risk of potentially communicable diseases in our dental clinic. We will of course continue to do so with an even heightened attention to detail in light of the current pandemic environment. As is the case with transmission of most all contagious illnesses, such as a common cold or seasonal flu, you and/or your child may have recently been exposed to a virus called novel SARS-CoV-2 that can cause a disease known as COVID-19. Social Distancing nationwide has shown to be effective in reducing the transmission of novel degrees, and although we have taken measures to provide for social distancing (6 feet) in our practice, due to the nature of the procedure we provide, it is not possible to maintain ideal social distancing between the patient, the parents or caregivers of the patients, dentist, staff and/or other patients and their parents or caregivers at all times.
