We hope this update finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.
Our team at Fun Dental Care is excited to welcome you back starting June 1st, 2020. We are proud to let you know that we have been constantly updating ourselves with the newest regulations issued by OSHA, CDC, California/Santa Clara Department of Public Health as well as guidelines from ADA, CDA, and the Santa Clara County Dental Society. Your patience is greatly appreciated as we implement following new protocols to ensure the safety of all our patients and our staff.
In order to minimize people to people interaction and follow social distancing rules to protect all patients and the staff, we ask for your help on the following:
-
Prior to your appointment, you will receive a prescreen call from us. If you missed the call, we will send a prescreen text message. Please make sure to reply with answers at your earliest convenience. If you are sick or experiencing any symptoms of illness, please call 408-260-8283 to change your appointment.

When you come to your appointment, please present yourself at the entrance, and someone will walk you in and direct you to treatment area, keeping in mind social distancing rules.

We have instituted mandatory employee health screening/temperature check at the beginning of each clinical day.

True HEPA air purifiers and HEPA filters for central AC have been installed throughout the entire office and aren in full function throughout any clinical day.
