Dear Patients and Parents,
DOH Sec. Duque recently announced that dentists can resume operations but with strict health compliance. With that in mind, we are sorry to announce that OUR CLINIC IS NOT YET COVID- READY. Number of covid-positive patients in our country is escalating, some of them are asymptomatic (carrier). There is no mass testing yet and we have to treat everyone as PUM (patient under monitoring) even after triaging procedures. The Philippine Dental Association came up with new clinic protocols and set-up to ensure the safety of the dentist, dental assistant, dental aides, and patients. Please give us time to modify our clinic to make it a covid-compliant one. We still need to purchase new necessary equipment and machines. And weβre having a hard time in choosing which product is the more approriate one w/ 100% efficacy for the new normal set-up inside our clinics. The supply is limited also, the companies are lacking in manpower and their moves are restricted as well brought about by the ECQ.
Most of our procedures are aerosol generating thus careful modifications and adjustments are necessary to prevent cross-contamination.
(We have families to think about and to care for). Please bear with us at these challenging time. You can PM us w/ regards to your dental concerns.
Thank you! Stay safe everyone. ππ»
