COVID update December 2020
NSW
We are monitoring the situation in NSW closely. If you have been to Greater Sydney, Central Coast or Wollongong in the last 14 days that you follow the ACT Health guidelines and quarantine. ACT Health have clear requirements for those who have attended those areas of NSW which can be accessed on their website. If you are in this affected category please phone or email to notify us and we can reschedule your appointment.
Attendance for your appointment
We are fortunate at Canberra Dental Care that most people who attend are there for an appointment. This means if we need to do contact tracing we can simply use our appointment book to ascertain who was in the surgery. However, for those that don’t have an appointment we are following the advice from ACT health. We have registered with the ACT Government ‘Check in CBR’ app. You can register with the app by either downloading the app and checking in with our code 938533. Or you can snap a photo of our QR code which is prominently displayed.
If you don’t have your phone with you we do have a paper register you can sign instead.
General health
We remind you that even if you haven’t been to Sydney that you take the ongoing risk seriously. We remind you that if you have any of symptoms such as a fever, sore throat, breathlessness, cough or fatigue please contact us to reschedule your appointment. This also includes if you have been in contact with a suspected case of COVID-19. It is vital that we stop the spread and ask you to take your part in this seriously.
If you have any concerns please contact our reception staff during business hours.
Available treatments
Our dentists and hygienists are available. They are able to perform all dental treatments. Level 1 restrictions impose additional screening measures when you attend for you appointment. Our reception staff will guide you through what is required when you attending, primarily keeping 1.5m between people and sanitising your hands. We ask that, where possible, you refrain from bringing non-patients with you. When you enter the surgery you will be asked to sanitise your hands again and rinse with mouthwash.
We are able to take on line bookings if you need to make an appointment.
We are committed to keeping us all safe. By following the rules and exercising caution we can beat this!
