We’re Here for you! April 2020

As you may be aware, due to the COVID-19 situation, the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) provided advice to the Government that Dentists should postpone all non urgent routine dental care. During this time, we will be operating a needs-based dental service. We encourage you to call our practice on 3348 6661 if you have an oral health concern in the coming weeks and months.

We have already contacted patients with routine dental care appointments due in April, to reschedule these appointments into the coming months. As required depending on the ongoing restrictions placed by the AHPPC on dental care provision, we may continue to postpone future routine dental care appointments. We will review this week by week, month by month and will always endeavor to contact you in person to advise of any changes to your appointments.

With this said, if you have any concerns with your oral health that you were hoping to address with me at your routine examination and clean appointment, please contact the practice and we will ascertain if you should be seen in an emergency consultation appointment or alternatively I will speak with you directly over the phone to provide advice as required.

We want you to know, that in providing an essential community-based service, we are here for you! We are a local family and are committed to supporting the Manly and surrounding communities. My staff or my wife Chantelle will continue to answer all calls during business hours and return any messages left after hours in a prompt and timely manner. We will continue to see you to provide emergency treatment as your oral health remains our top priority during this time.

Many thanks for your continued support, and best wishes for good health and wellness for you and your loved ones.
