Important Message :

We hope that you and your family are in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control procedures ensure that when you receive care, it is both safe and comfortable.

Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Maryland Department of Health, the American Dental Association (ADA) and the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

·         Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. When you are in the office we will again ask screening questions regarding potential exposure and symptoms and check your temperature.

·         If possible please wear a face mask to your appointment.

·         Please call us when you arrive at our parking lot. We ask that you wait in your car until the treatment area is ready for you. We will contact you on your cell phone or come out to your car when it is time for you to come in to the office.

·         We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.

·         You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and a coffee station, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.

·         We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time. We ask that you not bring anyone into the office, unless accompanying a minor or someone who needs assistance. Our goal is to minimize having guests in our reception area. If someone is in the reception area, please maintain safe social distance.

Starting on Monday, May 18, we will again begin to schedule routine orthodontic appointments. The need to maintain safe social distancing between our patients along with the time needed to disinfect the treatment area between patients will result in fewer appointments. We ask your continued patience over the next several weeks as we resume our practice.

Please be sure to brush and floss at home prior to your appointment. We will no longer have a brushing station in order to reduce the risk of transmission of the virus.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice.

Thank you for being a part of our practice family. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.

Sincerely,

Drs. Siegel, Batouli and Team
