DHA requests that EVERY PATIENT coming inside the dental clinic must wear a mask. If you do not have one, DHA will provide you with one. Please keep your distance when entering waiting room and standing in line at check in. Please only sit in designated numbered seats and please only bring yourself to your appointment. Any additional family or friends will have to wait in the car.

Each patient will have to answer screening questions**, have temperature checked, wash hands upon entering operatory and rinse with a Hydrogen Peroxide Whitening mouth rinse and wash hands before exiting the operatory. Please also take advantage of hand sanitizers available around the office.
