We hope this letter/email finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months and we are all looking forward to resuming our normal daily routines and schedules. In this regard, we are re-opening our office for elective procedures starting Tuesday June 2nd, 2020. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your HEALTH and SAFETY.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice. Our infection control processes are designed to be both safe and comfortable.

Our office STRICTLY follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)and the Maryland State Dental Association (MSDA). We are always up to date on new rulings or guidance to ensure our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations.

Accordingly, we have instituted several changes:

• Prior to your appointment, we will call you to ask some important screening questions. You will be asked those same questions again when you arrive at our office.

• We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. We will also be taking your temperature upon arrival.

• Our reception area will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys, etc., since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.

• Appointments will be scheduled to allow for social distancing between patients.

• We will allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time and to allow time for infection control procedures.

• We have also implemented a “hallway courtesy”. If you are in the hallway, we will make it a priority to step to the side or into another room if possible, to provide social distancing.

• Our team will be utilizing all recommended Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriate for your procedure.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you safe in our practice. Please call our office at 301-861-0656 and ask to speak to Mary and /or Lori, with question or concerns.

Thank you for being a patient of Rejuvenation Dental. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our existing patients and serving new patients of Charles County.

Sincerely,

The Rejuvenation Dental Team
