20.01.2022 After careful consideration noting the increase in Covid cases in Colac, our practice has elected to voluntarily return to stage 2 restrictions as applicable to... dental treatment. Given we already continue to provide most of our services under these restrictions, the most noticeable change will be that we are unable to provide cleans of teeth until further notice. We can still provide other dental services including emergency treatment, fillings and checkups. We will continue to temperature test our patients and staff, use our PPE, have patients use hydrogen peroxide mouthwash & hand sanitiser, use rubber dam and as per our practice protocols - ensure that none of our staff enter any locked down area, and if they do they will be absent from the workplace for 14 days pending a covid test result before return to the workplace. This has been our staff policy for some time. Our number one priority is our community, patients and staff. Stay safe everyone. See more
