Dear patients, Please be advised the dental office will be closed until further notice in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our governing body, the RCDSO, strongly recommends that all non-essential and elective dental services should be suspended immediately. Only emergency treatment should continue. The concern is about keeping dental practices open and putting our patients, communities and staff at risk. ... With a spike in new cases and the call for effective social distancing, make it clear that bold action is required. The College will revisit this recommendation in the first week of April. If you have a dental emergency please contact our office to arrange for assistance. We are sorry for this inconvience, and will make further arrangements to reschedule once we receive more information and recommendations. We will not be in the office so please contact us through our office email, since we will receive email notifications. [email protected] Thank you for your understanding. See more
