Shirene Orandi, DDS

We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. As we prepare to reopen, we want to thank you for your patience and update you with some of the changes we have implemented in our office. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety and well-being.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits in our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.

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 before your appointment regarding some screening questions. You will be asked to complete a health screening questionnaire when you enter the office.

• We ask that you wear a mask or face covering to your appointment. Due to the limited supply, we are only able to stock enough masks for our staff. Please bring your own face coverings.

• We will be running the office at a cooler temperature to accommodate staff in regards to the extra Personal Protection Equipment they will be wearing. We will not be able to give you a blanket so please dress accordingly.

• Our waiting area is closed. Please call us from your car when you arrive for your appointment. We will let you know if we are ready for you to enter the office.

• Only the patient is permitted in the office. We will make exceptions for young children and adults who need assistance.

• We will take your temperature with a touchless scanning thermometer.

• Hand sanitizer will be required to use as you enter and leave the office.

• We will provide all of our patients with a Hydrogen Peroxide pre-rinse before all dental treatment/cleanings.

• Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That may mean you are 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 all of your smiling faces! We 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 651-688-3545 or visit our website at www.shireneorandidds.com

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

Sincerely,
Shirene Orandi DDS & Staff

ATTN: WE ARE CLOSING OUR CLINIC DUE TO COVID-19

URGENT (CORONAVIRUS) COVID-19 UPDATES
As the facts and situation around COVID-19 (coronavirus) continue to evolve, and in step with Governor Tim Walz’s recent Declaration of a State of Emergency, including the call for all seniors over the age of 65 and residents with chronic conditions to self-isolate at home, the Minnesota Dental Association is requesting the cooperation of all Minnesota dentists and issuing the following guidance:

The Minnesota Dental Association in conjunction with the Minnesota Board of Dentistry strongly recommends that dentists practicing in Minnesota voluntarily suspend nonessential or non-urgent dental care for the next 14 days. As always, it is expected that dentists will continue to be available as needed for emergency care and services.

MDA does not make this request lightly, and it is being done out of an abundance of caution during this historic public health emergency. As health care professionals, we all have a role to play in "flattening the curve" in order to follow sound, scientific public health advice to help limit infections and slow the spread of the virus.

Our collective actions now will determine the spread of COVID-19, and this recommendation is being made after careful deliberation and in consultation with state and national public health experts. We believe by taking these extraordinary precautions, dentists can make a difference in helping to preserve the limited supply of personal protective equipment critical for emergency dental care and frontline health care personnel responding to the pandemic. We recognize the gravity of these extreme measures and are sensitive to the economic impact of such actions. The MDA will advocate on behalf of all dentists in Minnesota for economic relief packages.

We understand you will have questions about what to do next following this announcement. For regular updates follow us on Facebook and share MDA’s COVID-19 (coronavirus) updates with your social networks to circulate this news with our dental community.

We understand that there are numerous questions regarding unemployment insurance, access to economic relief loans, paid sick time etc. The MDA is doing the best to gather information and resources as quickly and accurately as we can. The MDA has also set up a webpage with links to various resources. www.mndental.orgvirus. We appreciate your patience as we work through this unprecedented situation.

Minnesota Dental Association The Minnesota Dental Association is a statewide professional membership organization representing Minnesota-licensed dentists and dental students.
