Message from Dental

To all of our valued patients 
 
We just wanted to update all of you on what is happening at our dental office presently. In compliance with both the BC Dental Association and the College of Dental Surgeons of BC, we have stopped seeing any patients for any and all routine, non-essential dental treatments. This includes cleanings and restorations. At the time when we can return to the office, which we don’t know right now, we will honour the appointments in the schedule and work on getting those of you who were cancelled seen as soon as possible. We will need your patience during that time. 
 
If you have an emergency, which is categorized as uncontrolled pain, swelling, facial trauma or cellulitis (spreading infection), please text or call 604 351 4227 and leave us you name, phone number and a short description of your emergency and one of our dentists will help address your concern either prescribing medication or referring you to an appropriate facility that is properly equipped with PPE (personal protection equipment), which we do not presently have.

We know these are very challenging times for all of us, but these decisions have been made to keep everyone as safe as possible. As you can imagine, dental work, due to the creation of aerosols when a drill or ultrasonic scaler is used, is one of the riskiest activities during a pandemic involving an illness that is spread by saliva droplets. 
 
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.

 Stay safe everyone, wash your hands and practice social distancing.
