To our valued patients

Due to the nature of our industry, the safety of our staff and patients is paramount.

We would like to reassure you that the team at Carousel Dental has taken extra measures to minimise risk to our staff and patients, in line with the recommended guidelines by the Australian Dental Board.

We have enforced patient screening to ensure that only the fit and healthy should be at the practice whilst maintaining our usual high standard of infection control. Body temperature of each patient will also be taken prior to commencing treatment.

We recommend limiting the non- patient numbers in our practice by asking only the patient attending for treatment is present at the clinic. Siblings and extended family members and friends are discouraged from being at the clinic for the appointment to minimise risk. Patients under 12 years old may have a parent with them during their visit.

If in the past 14 days you have been:

• Unwell with fever and/or any respiratory symptoms such as cough, sore throat or difficulty in breathing
• Travelled overseas or interstate
• In contact with a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patient ( including living in the same house as someone who is undergoing self quarantine)

we ask that you abstain from the clinic and instead call us to arrange for an appointment for a date following the mandatory 14 day quarantine period.

For patients who are in the mandatory 14 days quarantine period, we would like to extend our service via phone consultation. Phone consultations are only for emergency cases and can only be offered to our existing patients as we have their medical and dental records on hand. Phone consultation times must be booked ahead by calling the practice on 08 9356 5883.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to provide great service in the safest manner.

Sincerely

Dr Cy Cumming & Dr Anis Fadzil
