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). 

Pre-Screening, Masks, & Hand Hygiene

 Before entering the clinic you will be asked to confirm that you have none of the COVID-19 symptoms or risk factors.  We require that you wear a mask in the clinic.  You are free to wear your own mask or we can provide you with one that you can then take home with you.  If you are unable to wear a mask you must notify us in advance of your appointment so Dr. Hennessy can discuss your options with you.   Once you are inside, we will ask that you immediately use the hand sanitizer that is just inside our clinic door (beside the masks).

Where do I wait for my appointment?

For now we are asking patients to sit on the chairs (not couches) in our waiting room.  If the chairs are occupied, you may wait on the bench in our lobby or our new chairs outside where you can enjoy the sunshine!  This allows us to disinfect high touch surfaces (chairs, counters, bathrooms) in accordance with our current guidelines.

What will things look like (including us!)?

We are now required to wear additional Personal Protective Equipment ("PPE") for all dental visits.  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 will be wearing.  Things like face shields and gowns will be commonplace, but don't worry - it is still us under all those layers!  
There is also a Plexiglass barrier at the front desk and a wipeable barrier on the debit machine touchpad.
