At Woodin Creek Dental, we understand that the coronavirus (and COVID-19) have created an environment of unprecedented uncertainty and concern for our patients. We are committed to ensuring your safety above all else and are reaching out to our patient community regarding the steps we are taking to protect you during this time.
Postponement of Non-Emergency Dental Treatment
The health and safety of our patients and our dental team have always been our top priority. In accordance with COVID-19 recommendations set forth by the American Dental Association and the Washington State Dental Association, effective March 18, 2020, we are closing our office and postponing all non-emergency dental care until further notice.
If you have a true dental emergency or aren’t sure if your situation is urgent, call our 98011 emergency dentist at (425) 947-2727, and we will be happy to see how we can assist you.
