We wanted to say how much we appreciate all of your patience and understanding during the last year and a half. As things continue to settle down a little, we are going to gradually start to return some things back to normal.

STARTING JUNE 1ST - The reception area will be open. You will no longer be required to call from your car. You can come in at your appointment time. We would still like for it to be the patient only unless you require a care giver or helper. We are still requiring you to wear a mask when you come into the office and we will still be taking your temperature.

STARTING JUNE 1ST - Dr Braun will start to do exams again. They will be sporadic at this time just so that he is still keeping contact with multiple people in the hygiene rooms down. We realize that he has not done an exam for most people for the last year but unless you are having an issue or specifically request to have an exam, you may still not get one until a future appointment. Our main concern is keeping everyone healthy and continuing to provide excellent care for our patients.

ONGOING - Our front desk will continue to send out the COVID-19 screenings to your cell phone or email on file. If we do not have either of those forms of contact on file, they will be calling to confirm your appointment and go over the COVID-19 screening form. They are also sending out health histories if you are due to update it. We are required to have a new health history at least every two years or if you are a returning patient with a new issue that hasn’t been here for a while. We are sending them to you so you can fill them out at home and you have your medications within reach to put on your health history form. It is very important that we have all medications as most of them will have an effect on your oral health. Please make sure you fill the health history out completely. Once completed it will be sent directly to us. You will receive two separate texts or emails. Please make sure you open both of them as one will be the COVID-19 screening and one will be the health history update.

ONGOING - If you are sick or not feeling well, please reschedule your appointment. If you have tested positive for COVID-19 or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 please delay your appointment by at least two weeks to make sure you are symptom free and not contagious.

As always, we appreciate the trust you have placed in our office to serve your periodontal and implant needs and we are always here if you have any questions. If you are on Facebook, please follow our business page at Thomas B. Braun, DDS, MS, PC.
