What to Expect

At Wolfville Dentistry, we strive to make your visit as relaxing as possible. However, there are some changes we have had to make:

Limit on visitors

For the time being we must limit the number of people in the clinic at one time. Wherever possible, we would ask that family members, drivers etc. wait outside of the clinic during your appointment. Of course exceptions to this are caregivers and interpreters/translators (one per patient). Anyone attending your appointment with you will be screened according to the guidelines below.

Pre-Screening, Masks, & Hand Hygiene

Before being welcomed into the clinic, you will be asked to confirm that you are feeling well, and have no cold/flu-like symptoms. You will also be asked if anyone in your household has COVID-19. If you are feeling at all unwell, or if anyone in your household has COVID-19, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment. Once inside, we will ask that you immediately use our hand sanitizer.

Regardless of provincial regulations, in order to enter our clinic you must be wearing a mask (this is in keeping with the mandate of the Provincial Dental Board of NS). If you do not have a mask, we can provide you with one. If are unable to wear a mask you must notify us in advance of your appointment so Dr. Hennessy can discuss your options with you.

Where do I wait for my appointment?

Our front door will remain closed, but is no longer locked. You will be asked the screening questions by one of our team upon entry, and as long as you are feeling well you may wait with a mask on, in our comfy waiting room. When your practitioner is ready to take you in for your appointment they will come and get you.

What will things look like (including us!)?

How different we look will depend on what services are being provided during your visit. Click below to see a video of Dr. Hennessy explaining what we may be wearing for certain appointments. Things like face shields and gowns may be commonplace, but don't worry - it is still us under all those layers!

All high touch surfaces are disinfected including our bathroom, waiting room chairs, debit machine, counter tops etc.

Please note: Everyone on our team has been fully vaccinated.
