Covid-19
Effective 5/28/2021
Dear Valued Patients:
On behalf of our entire team here at Rousson Family Dentistry we would like to thank you for your continued support and trust during these unprecedented times. We are beyond excited to be back treating all of your dental needs.
For your piece of mind, prior to the Covid-19 pandemic Rousson Family Dentistry has always implemented the highest level of caution and infection control. It has and always will be our goal to go above and beyond the expectations of our patients as well as the guidelines set forth to provide a safe environment for our entire community. With that being said, we would like you to be aware that these same measures have also been taken by our building management team. Their cleaning crew was enlisted in mid-March to ramp up the scope of their work in the common areas to implement the CDC recommended guidelines. For your convenience, they have installed new hand sanitizing receptacles in front of the elevator, and in the bathrooms as well as strategically placing new signage around the building to help with the recommended social distancing guidelines.
On March 10th, 2020 Governor Charles Baker declared a state of emergency in the Commonwealth to respond to the spread of Covid-19.
