We hope you and your family are in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few years with the pandemic and 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 processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.

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

For the protection of all our patients and staff we are requesting the following:

• If you have an illness or are exhibiting symptoms, we recommend you cancel and reschedule your dental appointment. Some illness and symptoms include:

  • a cold or the flu

  • fever or nausea

  • severe headaches or body aches

  • muscle or stomach pain, chest pain or difficulty breathing

  • vomiting or diarrhea

  • active tuberculosis (TB)

  • mumps, measles, chickenpox

  • other contagious disease

• Avoid bringing children or other family members unless they have an appointment or are needed for translation, disability assistance, or treatment decision assistance.

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. To make an appointment, please call our office at 949-393-2999.

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.

Sincerely,

Dr Andonian and Team
