To our valued patients
There is no higher priority to our team than the safety of our patients and staff. When visiting our practice, we want you to feel confident that all health and safety measures are taken to prevent transmission of all disease, including Coronavirus.
We have been relying on many evidence-based resources for the latest information to keep our patients, our team and our community safe. The Journal of Dental Research stated, on Thursday, March 12, 2020, that: “Due to the unique characteristics of dental procedures where a large number of droplets and aerosols could be generated, the standard protective measures in daily clinical work are not effective enough to prevent the spread of COVID-19, especially when patients are in the incubation period, are unaware they are infected, or choose to conceal their infection.” As a result we have been cancelling all routine appointments since Friday March 20th, 2020.
So, for now, based on the science and current evidence that our historical universal precautions are not a safe guarantee against COVID-19, we have taken the difficult decision to close our practice until further notice for the safety of our patients, staff and the wider community.
I am always available by telephone if you have questions or concerns or are seeking any dental advice that we can give. You can call me on (026) 41052.
As a patient, you have the right to a safe environment, and I would much rather be safe and proactive than reactive. It is evident that social distancing is the number one preventive method for slowing the spread of this virus so that we do not overwhelm our hospitals. Social distancing is not possible in the dental surgery. Dentistry has ALWAYS been at the forefront of preventative measures. I’d like it to stay that way.
Respectfully,
Macroom Dental Practice
