MONTAGUE HILLS DENTISTRY 

To Our Dear Patients,

First of all, I hope this letter finds you and your loved ones in good health and good spirits in these difficult times. 

As you were previously informed Montague Hills Dentistry had to shut down temporarily from March 17 until  May 3 as we are complying with the CDC, ADA, CDA and the Santa Clara County regarding the new Covid-19 guidelines. Our office, however, will be open for dental emergencies for conditions that are potentially life-threatening and require immediate treatment to stop ongoing tissue bleeding, alleviate severe pain, severe infection, tooth fracture exposing the nerve or trauma involving facial bones potentially compromising the patient's airway.

In addition, as required by law we will provide you with a Social Distancing Protocol for you to complete in case you visit us during a dental emergency visit.

Our office number 408-262-9999 will be available to attend any issues on these days: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 AM -4:00 PM

If you need to contact any of the doctors ONLY to discuss any pending dental treatment, ongoing dental procedure that was interrupted or any dental question you may have please do not hesitate to text Dr. Oscar at 408 316 6868 or Dr. Alejandro at 415 264 0838. Both doctors will be more than happy to return your call.

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency not related to dentistry please call 911.

As a friendly reminder keep brushing three times a day, keep flossing three times a day and most importantly: Stay in and Wash your Hands!

Truly yours,

Dr.Alejandro Celis, Dr.Oscar Celis & Staff.
