Covid-19 Update – July 20th

Dear Patients.

As you would be aware, due to current Government Directions with regards to Covid -19, we have been placed into a state-wide lockdown. Unfortunately, we are closed for non-essential treatment.  For those who have appointments scheduled during the lockdown, our staff will be contacting you to reschedule. 

Thank you for being patient with us as we have been implementing the restrictions required as part of the response to the coronavirus (COVID-19).

We want to assure you that our priority remains the safety and wellbeing of people – our patients, our people and the community. In line with this commitment, we’re continuing a number of safety measures to help minimise any risk of COVID-19 exposure within the practice. 

The current restrictions mean we can only see patients under the following circumstances:

• Swelling of the face, neck or mouth 
• Dental trauma causing change in the position of teeth, soft tissue damage and/or significant pain 
• Significant bleeding 
• Difficulty opening the jaw and/or swallowing 
•  Referral from a specialist medical practitioner for assessment or management of a patient receiving urgent medical care for medically necessary dental care

Please contact us if you experience any of the above; we are here to help our patients.

We hope you all stay well, safe and warm during the lockdown. 

The team at Riken
