As the information and science around COVID-19 continues to evolve, Accura Dental Care is continuously receiving the most up-to-date information from the Colorado Dental Association (CDA), the American Dental Association (ADA), the Colorado governor’s office and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). We want to ensure that we are making the best decisions with the information and science available in a well-coordinated manner with these health agencies.
The CDA and ADA recommend that all dentists close their offices for three weeks to patients seeking elective and non-urgent care. During that time dentists should provide only emergency dental care and medically necessary care. This will allow all community healthcare providers to care for our most critical patients, while also alleviating the burden that emergency dental care would put on hospitals.
Accura Dental Care is committed to following evidence-based public health advice to help slow the spread of the virus and “flatten the curve” of transmission.
Our office will be open to all patients and citizens of the community for essential emergency dental servicesbeginning today March 17, until April 1st, 2020.
The office will be open from 7:30am to 7:30pm; Monday- Friday,and 7:30am to 1:30pm on Saturdaysduring this time.
