We are open!

With approval of Governor Walz’s Executive Order 20-59, we are open and available to meet your dental needs once again. Please contact us with any scheduling questions.

We understand this has been a challenging time, and we appreciate your loyalty and patience through it. When you return, you will notice additional precautions to ensure the health and safety of all of our patients, staff, and their families. These precautions include:

  • – Communicating with you beforehand to screen for any symptoms of COVID-19. When you enter our office, you’ll be asked those same questions again, as well as have your temperature taken.
  • – Asking you to wait in your car until just before your scheduled appointment.
  • – Having you use hand sanitizer upon entering the office and an antiseptic mouthrinse before receiving dental treatment.
  • – Eliminating magazines, children’s toys, etc since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
  • – Managing appointments to allow for social distancing between patients and minimizing time spent in the waiting room or at the reception desk. 

We are always available for dental emergencies. Please contact our office at 507.454.1628. We are here to help, especially during this challenging time.

Stay well!
