COVID- 19 Safety Protocol




COVID- 19 Safety Protocol

WE ARE OPEN
We are happy to announce that we at Blouberg Dental Practice are back and OPEN to assist you with regular dental appointments. We are ready to help you with Crowns, Fillings, Dental Implants, Teeth Whitening, etc.

We understand that during the nationwide lockdown many patients had to wait and this has created a back-log to many of our services. We are committed to keeping you safe and have implemented extra safety protocols to protect you and your family during this pandemic.


Safety Protocol during the COVID-19 pandemic:

We kindly ask that you do not bring friends or family along if possible so we can limit the number of patients in our waiting room at all times. This is to honor the government's regulations of social distancing. However, one parent may accompany a minor to assist during the dental visit.

We proactively clean and disinfect our waiting rooms, patient rooms, and are limiting common “touchpoints,” like the computer registration pads and sign-in sheets.
