We are open and Dr. Mike is ready to see you! He has a big smile behind his N95 mask, level 3 mask, safety glasses, and face shield 🙌🏻 Taking all the precautions but his humor is still there! #staysafemn #pediatricdentistry #pediatricdentistmn #lakesareasmiles
Governor Walz has issued Executive Order 20-51 which lifts restrictions on dental offices providing elective care. Beginning Monday, May 11, we are open for patient care. Following guidelines from the American Dental Association, the CDC, and the MN Board of Dentistry, we have made numerous safety accommodations to provide a safer environment for our patients and providers. Thank you for your understanding with these changes and we look forward to seeing you!
UPDATE! Executive Order 20-35 issued on April 13, 2020 (Peacetime Emergency Extension): The Governor’s new Executive Order extends the Peacetime Emergency another 30 days. The postponement of non-emergent and elective dental and medical surgeries and procedures will remain in place per the past Executive Order declaring this action throughout the Peacetime Emergency.
We appreciate your patience. We will inform you when we are able to resume regular patient care. As always, if your child experiences a dental emergency such as abscess, significant pain, swelling, or trauma, please call our office.
COVID-19 UPDATE! Following the Governor’s Stay-at-home order which is in place from March 27-April 10, our office remains closed to all non-emergent dental care at least until April 13. Permissible activities include health and safety activities, such as obtaining emergency care. If your child experiences a dental emergency, such as significant pain, swelling, abscess, or trauma, please call our office. Patients scheduled during this period will receive a phone call to reschedule at a later date. Thank you for your understanding. Be well. #pediatricdentistmn #lakesareasmiles #stayhomemn
In an effort to protect our patients, staff members, and families, we are temporarily closing our office beginning Thursday, March 19. We will be closed for all non-emergent care through Thursday, March 27. At that time, we will re-evaluate based on the recommendations of the Minnesota Board of Dentistry. Currently, hospital treatment appointments will occur as scheduled, unless the patient is experiencing any sign of illness. Also, if there is an emergency such as pain, swelling, trauma, or infection, please call our office. We will continue to keep you updated with changes as they transpire. Thank you and health to you all. Dr. Steinmetz and Staff #pediatricdentistmn #pediatricdentistry
