WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:

 

The ADA and CDC has strongly recommended that all health care providers screen patients for possible COVID-19 exposure. Please consider these screening questions before you make an appointment. If any of these apply to you, please make your appointment in 6 weeks time. 

​

 

1. Do you have fever or have you felt hot or feverish recently (14-21 days)?

​

2. Are you having shortness of breath or other difficulties breathing?

​

3. Do you have a cough or sore throat?

​

4. Any other flu-like symptoms, such as gastrointestinal upset, headache
or fatigue or runny nose not associated with allergies?

​

5. Have you experienced recent loss of taste or smell?

​

6. Have you been in contact with any confirmed COVID-19 positive patients? (Patients who are well but who have a sick family member at home with COVID-19 should consider postponing elective treatment) 

 

7. Is your age over 60?

 

8. Do you have heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease,
diabetes or any auto-immune disorders?

 

9. Have you traveled in the past 14 days to any regions affected
by COVID-19? (as relevant to your location)
