So-Well Detal Associates would like to share helpful tips and information regarding Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and Your Oral Health
To Our Amazing Patients and Community,
We wanted to give you an update below on the status of the practice during the current COVID-19 situation and share helpful tips that will keep you and your family safe during this time.
Due to the progression of the ongoing pandemic and the recent Federal/ State, CDC, and ADA regulations we are closely following, Governor Pritzker has mandated closure to routine dental care and suggests office limit dental services to urgent care until further notice. We will postpone all dental appointments until further notice. Patients with appointments during the month of May have been cancelled and you will be notified by our team accordingly.
Here are 3 helpful tips on how to keep you and your family safe by properly:
When you have symptoms of cold, flu, COVID-19, or other viruses and infections, properly wearing a surgical face mask can help protect others from getting sick.

Please Note: If you are using a reusable cloth mask, at the end of the day, take the mask off from the straps (not touching the front), place in a pillowcase to keep the ties with the mask. Wash it in the washing machine with hot water and completely dry on medium or high heat.
Gloves can protect your hands from infection and contamination. The trick is to remember gloves are only keeping your hands clean. That means, even while wearing gloves, please DO NOT touch your face, eyes, hair, cell phones, etc. Wearing gloves does not give you a free pass to stop washing your hands. After removing gloves, you still need to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds.
Keep in mind wearing glove should not replace any other precautions you have been taking. That includes proper social distancing, self-quarantining, and wearing a mask when necessary, per the CDC.
Follow these six steps every time.

Small changes can make a BIG difference. We hope these tips are helpful, and you and your family stay safe and healthy!

So-Well Dental Associates
