Dear Patients, Parents and Guardians,
Good news! As of May 1st, 2020 the State of Ohio has allowed dental practices to reopen for routine dental care. We will reopen our office on Monday May 4th, 2020. As may be expected there will be changes to our normal operating procedures to accommodate Covid 19 concerns.
* The State Dental Board has recommended fewer appointments to avoid large numbers of individuals being in the office at the same time. As a result, appointment availability may be limited when we reopen.
* We are requesting parents, guardians and siblings without an appointment to wait in the car. This will limit the number of people in the office and help us maintain social distancing.
* If a parent or guardian wishes to discuss any aspect of their child’s treatment, the State of Ohio is requesting they wear a mask into the office.
We thank you for your understanding and together we will make it through this trying time.
Sincerely,
the Doctors and Associates at Haas Orthodontic Arts

Dear Patients, Parents and Guardians,
When the State of Ohio required closure of our practice on March 16th, 2020 the stated goal was to slow the rate of Covid-19 exposure. This was adopted to avoid overwhelming the health care system and to preserve Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for first responders and health care workers.
As these goals are being met, the question becomes when can we fully reopen to serve our patients. Currently we are limited to seeing patients who are having problems with their braces.
Unfortunately at this time there doesn’t seem to be a clear answer to this question. We are hoping it will be some time in May.
While we are waiting to reopen we would encourage our patients who are wearing night braces and elastics to use the extra time to progress their treatment. If anyone needs elastics, please call the office and we will mail them to you. Of course, don’t forget to brush your teeth twice a day!
Till we meet again, stay safe and we look forward to that day.
Sincerely,
The doctors and associates at Haas Orthodontic Arts
