In response to the Coronavirus crisis the NC State Dental Board and the American Dental Association have advised closure of dental offices. We will be closed for all appointments from March 19 through May 18,and are expecting to slowly resume patient care after that time. We will be checking messages and emails sent to the office weekly regarding scheduling and insurance issues during the closure, however there may be some time before a response if not an urgent matter.
If you are a patient of record of this office and have a true dental emergency, call Dr Houston at 919-619-6765. She will be available for consultation regarding the best course of action for emergency care.
Patients exhibiting fever, cough, shortness of breath, body aches or having foreign travel with in the last 30 days or travel to high risk American cities (including connections) or in close contact with anyone with these symptoms or travel, can not be seen and will be referred to the emergency department or UNC school of Dentistry.
Once patient care resumes we will be discussing with you new protocols for screening, scheduling, arrival and moving through the office visit, and during actual treatment. We are following guidelines to ensure the safety of our patients and staff, which involves added layers of infection control, protective measures, and increased spacing of appointments.
Thank you for your understanding as we care for you and the community.
We look forward to seeing you as soon as we can.
