Redmond Ridge Pediatric Dentistry

They did so good today!! It was very nice to see all of you. Thank you for your kind words. Kim Hoxie‎Redmond Ridge Pediatric Dentistry 12 June at 08:43 · I’ve said it before this team is awesome, but working in the dental field myself and knowing all the new changes we are all going through they made my kids feel super comfortable one even did better then she normally does! You can tell they’re doing to the best of their abilities to care for their patients. Jaime even Ungeared and regeared during our appointment with a smile under her mask when today’s appointment changed slightly. 😘💕

5/15/20 To our wonderful patients and their families: We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. We miss your children and their smiling faces. Redmond Ridge Pediatric Dentistry plans to start seeing patients on June 1st, 2020. It has been difficult for us not being able to see all of you. 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 children’s dental health and safety. The decision made to re-open in June 1st, 2020 is in accordance to Governor’s Stay-At-Home policy, which extends to May 31st, 2020. Hopefully, this will also give us time to procure sufficient personal protective equipment (PPE), implement new protocols, and provide training to ensure utmost safety of our patients and staffs specifically in response to COVID-19. However, we may need to postpone our re-opening date if we are not able to obtain adequate PPE as we are facing extreme international/national shortage of masks that are FDA approved. Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when your children receive care, it's both safe and comfortable. 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). Considering COVID-19 specifically, we have closely followed these organizations/agencies and more, so we are up-to-date on any new rules, guidance, and recommendations. In addition, we have attended countless webinars, continuing education lessons and participated in nationwide colleague forums. We will continue to do so, so we can be informed of the safest way to provide dental care for kids in our community again. 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: • When our office communicates with you about scheduling, we will email you a link to COVID-19 screening questionnaire and medical health history form. It’s best to fill out these screening questions and update medical history prior to appointment. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office. • Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment time. When you arrive, please wait in your car and call the office. We will let you know when to enter the office (This is to help us adhere to social distancing). If you are late, you may need to reschedule. • We will be taking temperature at the entrance. If the temperature is above 100.4 F, per CDC guideline, we will need to reschedule the appointment beyond14 days after the last day of fever, or any possible COVID-19 symptom. • Only one parent is allowed to accompany your child/children. Accompanying parent is required to wear a face mask prior to entering 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, coffee, juice, children’s toys and so forth, to avoid unnecessary contact surfaces. • Appointments will be arranged/rescheduled 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, your children, and every patient, safe in our practice.

Notice of Temporary Closure: In light of the evolving situation regarding COVID-19, our office will be closed temporarily until May 18, 2020 in accordance to Governor Jay Inslee’s proclamation. As always, our top priority is the health and well-being of our patients, families, and team members. We truly care for your children as our own. Dental procedures generate a large amount of aerosols and droplets. Certain masks/shields are recommended for dental procedures during this pandemic. However, due to large demands, it’s extremely difficult to obtain such masks, in addition, these masks should be reserved for our frontline medial colleagues who are fighting this virus. The Washington State Department of Health, CDC, ADA, U.S. Surgeon General, & OSHA have all issued statements on the importance of practicing social separation and postponing all “none-urgent” procedures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. In case of true dental emergency, you can call our office at 425-284-9884, and dial 1. Dr. Wang will get in touch with you to address your child’s needs. I hope everyone is well during this challenging time. We will continue to follow guidelines and recommendations as they evolve and determine when it is safe for us to return to our normal business hours. Sincerely, Dr. Christine Wang and her team

Notice of Temporary Closure: In light of the evolving situation regarding COVID-19, and out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to temporarily close our practice for the next 3 weeks (3/17/20 to 4/7/20) and possibly more days depending on the recommendation. As always, our top priority is the health and well-being of our patients, families, and team members. We truly care for your children as our own, thus, it is not a decision we make lightly. Dental procedures generate a large amount of aerosols and droplets. Certain masks/shield are recommended for dental procedures during this pandemic. However, due to large demands, it’s extremely difficult to obtain such masks, in addition, these masks should be reserved for our frontline medial colleagues who are flighting this virus. The CDC, ADA, U.S. Surgeon General, & OSHA have all issued statements on the importance of practicing social separation and postponing all “none-urgent” procedures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. A few other states have mandated dental offices to be closed. As a health care provider, I feel great responsibility to follow such guidance and take every precaution to ensure our patients, families, and our team stay safe. In case of true dental emergency, you can call our office at 425-284-9884, and dial 1. Dr. Wang will get in touch with you to address your child’s needs. I hope everyone is well during this challenging time. A great deal of care, research, and planning guides our decision. We will continue to evaluate this situation as it evolves and determine when it is safe for us to return to our normal business hours. Sincerely, Dr. Christine Wang and her team
