Due to the mandated closure of dental offices in Nova Scotia by the Provincial Dental Board and the Chief Medical Officer, our Fundy Dental Community Program is suspended indefinitely.
If you have a dental emergency please visit the FaceBook page of Fundy Dental Centre for updates on the current protocols to manage true dental emergencies during this time, or call the office for more detail (902-681-9111). Please see their most recent update posted below for more information.
FUNDY DENTAL CENTRE / UPDATE: April 7, 2020
Although the Fundy Dental Centre Walk-In Clinic is still closed until further notice, the office will be staffed by dentists Mon to Fri (9am to 1pm) to answer your calls and provide necessary advice, prescriptions and/or referrals to a designated emergency clinic. Please contact us by phone #902-681-9111 or email (fundydental@bellaliant.com) and our dentists will triage and assess all patient inquiries.
The primary objective during the pandemic is to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by encouraging social distancing and limiting unnecessary interaction between individuals. Our Dental Board has limited the number of dental clinics to as few as necessary to continue to service dental emergencies in the Province, with priority given to Oral Surgeons in a hospital setting.
Fortunately, Dr Ian Ross in the Berwick Health Centre was given this designation to serve our Valley patients.
If emergency treatment is required, we will refer you to their office or one of the other designated emergency clinics – please do not call or go to these offices without a referral. True dental emergencies (uncontrolled bleeding, severe toothache not managed by mediation, infection with significant swelling or causing difficulty breathing, and facial trauma) are still the only procedures that can be addressed at this time.
We will continue to update you here as to when other offices will be able to provide emergency treatment and regular dental services are able to be performed.
Stay safe and healthy, and we hope to see you all soon.
