As you reopen your doors to patients, the overall goal is to continue limiting physical interaction and maintain a reduced risk of COVID-19 exposure for your patients and staff. How is this done in a close-contact service? Below are a few resources to help guide you and your team in reopening your doors after COVID-19.
The American Dental Association (ADA) has created a toolkit to utilize during this transition period to help guide you through reopening your office while keeping everyone safe. The ADA toolkit provides an array of information, links, and forms for returning back to work safely.
Moreover, consider utilizing your website as an asset to reduce the time patients spend in your office. Via your website, patients can fill out COVID-19 release forms, provide updates, set appointments, and make payments.

Do you need a COVID-19 release form?
Contact us today to place this on your website.
Here are a few items to consider having available on your website:
- Patient Registration Forms

With these services accessible online, it not only reduces the amount of time needed in your waiting rooms, but these services also support your staff in preparing for appointments. Doing this now is valuable for keeping everyone safe but will continue to be an asset once the risk has been eliminated, and patients can continue to use these online tools.
