STATE OF EMERGENCY AND GUIDELINES FOR DENTAL PRACTICES
As you’ve probably heard, effective July 1, 2021, the Governor is lifting the state of emergency for Maryland. However, even thought the state of emergency is being lifted, there are NO changes to the COVID protocols and guidelines for health care facilities, including dental offices. Social distancing, patient screening, and facemasks, and PPE all remain as appropriate for the protection of the dental team and our patients. Maryland’s regulations follow the guidelines of the CDC and OSHA. Not until these agencies adopt new guidelines will there be any changes to the procedures at BCC Smiles.
Thank you for your continued cooperation!
