To our esteemed patients,

Let me be the first to welcome you back! ICHS has reopened our dental clinics following Gov. Jay Inslee’s announcement on Monday, May 18 that dental services can resume. We are taking every possible precaution to ensure the safety and well-being of you and your loved ones so you can get the preventative care you deserve. In addition to in-person appointments, we have telemedicine options available for virtual visits.

Over the past few weeks, our dental teams have received training on safety policies and procedures to deliver care during this unprecedented time. We have also made all necessary changes to meet Washington state public health criteria for reopening.

ICHS dental safety protocols

• Screening: All patients, visitors and staff are screened and have their temperatures checked before entering ICHS facilities. Staff are trained to identify COVID-19 symptoms.
• Masking: We are following universal masking procedures.
• Safety Equipment: Dental providers are fully equipped with masks, face shields and other safety equipment during all appointments to ensure staff and patient safety.
• Waiting times: We have updated appointment scheduling to expedite patient visits.
• Layout: We have modified ICHS facilities to support physical distancing.
• Cleaning: We are thoroughly cleaning all surfaces and sanitizing equipment before and after each patient.

While things may be different at our clinics, one thing hasn’t changed: our commitment to your health.
