Kennell Orthodontics follows the 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 stay up to date on all new rulings and guidance issued to ensure we’re adhering to the most current information and recommendations.
However, as you might imagine, we are going to be taking additional safety measures to help protect both our patients and our team.
Here are a few changes we have implemented in the office:
*** Please RE-SCHEDULE your appointment if you feel sick, have a fever, or have been in contact with someone who has been sick in the last 14 days. ***
LATEST UPDATES [9/1/2022]:
Masks are no longer required to enter our facility BUT are ENCOURAGED. We unfortunately will not be able to supply masks, so please remember to bring your own.
Please do your best to arrive at your scheduled appointment time – not too early and [please!] not late.
Upon your arrival, a Team Member will greet you.
There will be hand sanitizer available in the reception area and other areas in the office for you to use as needed.
Our Team will be wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including clinical jackets, enhanced face masks, and safety glasses. This may vary depending on the risk level of the procedure(s) we are performing.
We have adjusted our schedule to allow more time between patients in an effort to adhere to social distancing by reducing the number of people in the reception area at one time. This may result in fewer scheduling options for your appointment.
Please do your best to allow ample social distance from others that may also be sitting in the waiting area.
We ask that only 1 Adult accompany their Child into the office for their scheduled appointment.
Teen and Adult patients should come alone, unless a parent/spouse/etc.. has a question for Dr. Kennell about the patient’s treatment. We ask that everyone else please wait comfortably outside or in your vehicle.
For now, our Toothbrushing Station is a Handwashing Station. Please remember to brush your teeth (and floss!) at home, before coming to your appointment. If you need to brush at the office, we will provide you with a pre-pasted disposable toothbrush to use in the restroom.
Let’s keep all office talk positive and have fun together - safely!
If you have any questions about your child’s treatment progress or the steps we’re taking to keep you safe, we’re happy to answer them! You can email us at info@kennellortho.com or give us a call (603) 524-7404.
Thank you for sticking with us through these uncertain times! You are family to us, and we appreciate you so much.
Keep smiling and stay safe,
Dr. Kennell and The Kennell Ortho Team
