In an effort to support national efforts to fight the COVID- 19 pandemic, our practice is taking the following steps to help assure your health and well-being and that of our community:
– We are following directives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Dental Association (ADA) as a way to limit patient and staff exposure to this virus.
– We are suspending elective care and limiting appointments to essential and emergency procedures.
If you have an upcoming appointment, we will be in contact with you as the situation continues to evolve and make changes as needed. Currently, all preventative appointments have been moved to later dates as per recommended. Patients scheduled for an appointment to treat dental concerns will be contacted the day before your appointment about your health status, our screening protocols, and to confirm whether your appointment should be kept. Of course, please call us right away if you have a dental emergency or need immediate care.
At Rivertown, we have always followed standard universal precautions issued by the CDC and ADA to help protect every one of our patients and team members from the many infectious diseases for which we are potentially exposed. For the foreseeable future, we will continue to use additional protocols to minimize the risk to our team, families, and patients.
The safety and well-being of our patients continues to be our primary concern. We will continue to monitor the status of COVID-19 nationally and within our community and keep you up-to-date regarding our plans to return to business as usual.
I urge you to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. We can be reached by phone at 812-273-2388 or email us at MyRivertownDentist@gmail.com and we will respond as soon as we can.
We care about each of you and hope that you and your family will remain in good health during this difficult time.
