COVID-19: Dental Update 3/17/20

Message from The Camas Dental Clinic:

We are currently open and seeing our scheduled patients. We are currently available to see emergencies. We are planning to reschedule elective treatment, such as cleanings, to help protect the community, but we believe that treatment of active disease, such as cavities and abscesses, should still be done.

We are asking emergency patients to call to set up an appointment rather than walking in, and we are asking any patient to come to their visit alone, if they can, to avoid extra bodies in the waiting area. Of course children can be seen for treatment with a parent present, but we are encouraging parents to leave children at home rather than bring them along to the parents’ visit.

We want to assure the community that the Dental Clinic is a safe place to be, and we are taking measures to assure that this remains the case so that we can continue to be available.
