Covid-19 update

PRE VISIT TESTING FOR COVID 19

As COVID-19 continues to be present throughout our community, we have decided for the safety of our patients and our staff to have pre-dental visit COVID testing for all patients who need to take off their masks to be seen for periodontal treatment.

How this works (please read carefully):

Helix MDx Lab, working in conjunction with the Washtenaw County Health Department, has set up drive up testing for the dental community and our patients its located at 738 airport Blvd ANN ARBOR MI, 48108 across from Costco. HelixMDx uses an RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction) COVID-19 test that tests at 40-45 cycles of PCR, which is a very sensitive test, to help reduce the risk of a false-negative result. A false-negative result means that the test shows a negative result even though the person tested actually is infected with COVID-19.

PLEASE SIGN UP AT:
