Happy July from Children’s Dental Clinic of Green Bay! We started seeing patients in the office a few weeks ago now and we’re happy to report that it’s gone extremely well. We’d like to thank everyone for accommodating our new protocols and providing us with positive feedback. We couldn’t do it without everyone’s willingness! All new protocols were established with guidance from the American Dental Association, Wisconsin Dental Association, and the CDC.
To schedule a new or continuing care appointment you may call the office at (920) 336-4002 and we will be happy to assist you further. We’d like to remind you to please phone when you arrive in the parking lot so we may advise you when to enter the building. We ask only one parent to accompany the patient(s) inside and everyone entering and remaining in the office will need to wear a mask. Forehead temperatures and hand sanitation will occur once you enter. You may wait in your car or in our waiting room, but we are trying to keep the maximum number waiting inside to no more than 6 individuals.
Be assured that each of our staff members will be wearing the appropriate mask for their duties. Team members who provide direct patient care will also be wearing a face shield. Studies have shown that by social distancing and wearing masks, all parties are being protected and we are doing our part to decrease the risk of spreading germs and viruses. Our patients are our number one priority but we also have families at home too. We want to make sure we are doing our best at the office but not compromising any safety or health concerns for our loved ones.
During this unusual time, our team misses the interactions we had with patients and parents prior to the coronavirus outbreak. We were able to talk and catch up on family events and happenings. Now with the threat of the virus looming over everyone and everything, the overall feeling everywhere you go is to "get in and get out" as quickly as you can. Hopefully, that changes soon and we can go back to normal.
We normally have a contest to win a stuffed animal or movie tickets going on in the office. However, with trying to keep pen use down and limiting touching paper slips, we have decided to randomly pick a day and time each month to find a lucky winner of a Zesty or Target gift card! Good Luck to all!
In other exciting news, our office is having an anniversary! We are happy to announce that we have been in our building now for 21 years--time sure does fly!
We hope everyone continues to stay safe and is able to have a fun summer! We urge you to please wear a mask when out in public. We sympathize with those who vocalize their frustration and are getting tired of this "new normal". However, if we can all do our part, hopefully, we can get through this faster, healthier and smarter. Take care!
