Posted on by Aalyiah Heath

To ensure the safety of our patients, communities and dental team members, ISDS recommends the following measures that align with Gov. Pritzker’s mandates to limit the spread of COVID-19 through dental offices for the two-week period beginning Tuesday, March 17 through Tuesday, March 31, 2020:

  • Treat only patients requiring emergency dental procedures.
  • Postpone elective dental treatment and procedures.

In the next two weeks, we anticipate that the Centers for Disease Control, American Dental Association and Illinois Department of Public Health may establish additional safety measures above and beyond our already comprehensive universal standards of infection control. 

Therefore, to ensure the safety of our staff and our patients the office will be closed:  March 17 – March 31, 2020.

If you have an emergency, please call.  We will be seeing emergency patients, if necessary. read more
