Children are naturally likely to get sick from time to time. We have developed the following points to serve as a guide. In the following cases, the child’s appointment should be rescheduled:
- Any symptoms of COVID 19. You will be sent a questionnaire the day prior to your child’s appointment. Any symptoms will require rescheduling of the appointment at least two weeks into the future.
- Any child with a fever. Even if a fever is controlled with medication, the child is still considered to have a fever.
- A child with an active respiratory infection such as RSV or tuberculosis.
- A child with an ear infection who will be treated for cavities with nitrous oxide (laughing gas).
- A child who is unable to breathe through his or her nose, who will be treated for cavities with nitrous oxide (laughing gas).
- A child who has thrown up in the past 24 hours.
- A child with a communicable oral virus such as childhood oral herpes or hand, foot, and mouth disease.
