Dear Parents/Guardians,

We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over
 the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While 
many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.

Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA),
 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new 
rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are
current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help
 protect our patients and staff. For example:

• Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You’ll be 
asked those same questions again when you are in the office.
• We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also 
find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.
• You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and so forth,
 since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
• We require that anyone entering our office wear a face mask.
• To maintain social distancing, only patients who have an appointment that day are allowed into 
the office accompanied by ONE adult. (Everyone else needs to wait outside or in their car.)
• Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might
 mean that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
• We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as
 well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the
 steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call
 our office at (808) 944-1603.

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back
 our patients, neighbors and friends.

Sincerely,

Dr. Dean Sueda
