COVID-19 Safety at All Seasons Dental
We take the safety and health of our patients and staff very seriously, that is why we are following all COVID safety guidelines put in place by the Center for Disease Control, Stark County Health Department and the American Dental Association. Measures like social distancing, symptom pre-screening, temperature monitoring and reserved appointment times to control patient flow have been put in place. Additionally we have added some new protocols including our extraoral suctions, for mid- treatment use and HEPA filtration units placed throughout the office.
Patients are not required to wear a mask in our office at this time. But be assured, we will follow all guidelines set by the Ohio Department of Health.
