Coronavirus: Our Precautionary Steps

Our Practice is Open

Dr. Dann Orthodontics is excited to announce that the government approved the full reopening of orthodontic practices. We opened our doors as of Monday, May 11th! Thank you for being so patient as we have all worked to get through the pandemic together. Our team is committed to the highest standards of safety and cleanliness, so feel secure in coming to visit. 

Prior to coming in, please download and fill out the below two forms, then bring them in at the time of your appointment. Filling these out ahead of time and bringing them with you to your appointment will reduce extra person-to-person contact within our office, and save you time!

COVID-19 INFORMED CONSENT

(fill out and bring in one time only)

COVID-19 QUESTIONNAIRE

(fill out prior to each appointment) 

New Guidelines

Our orthodontics practice has some new guidelines and policies to maximize the safety of our patients and our team members. Please read them all below and let us know if you have any questions.

  • We are not seeing patients who have any flu-like symptoms the day of their appointments (fever, coughing, shortness of breath, sore throat, chills, or other flu like symptoms). If you or a family member you live with are experiencing any of these symptoms, please call to reschedule your appointment. If patients arrive with any flu-like symptoms they will be asked to reschedule.
  • We are not seeing patients who have traveled outside of the country in the last 14 days.
  • A mask or face covering will be required for every person who enters our office. We ask that our patients wear their face covering/mask until they are chairside. Patients will also be asked to put their face coverings back on right after a procedure until they exit the office.
  • Upon entering we will have two forms to be completed: an informed consent form and a health questionnaire. The health questionnaire will be completed at every appointment. Both forms are available for download on our website and we recommend filling them out ahead of time.
  • We are asking patients to wait in their vehicles until we are ready for them to enter. We are asking ONLY patients to come inside. Parents, friends, siblings, etc. are to wait outside or in their vehicles to limit lobby exposure. Parents that want to come chairside must fill out an informed consent form, as well as a health questionnaire.
  • Each patient's temperature will be taken upon entering the office; any patient with a temperature over 100.4 degrees will be asked to reschedule his or her appointment.
  • Please use hand sanitizer that is provided upon entry.
  • Patients are asked to brush their teeth prior to their appointment at home; there will be no brushing done in the office going forward.
