Wisconsin Needs More Smiles
MSW reopen to provide emergency dental care as of 6/2/2020
Effective June 2, 2020, MSW will be open to provide emergency dental care. Our staff will be following new guidelines set in place by OSHA and the CDC in order to provide as safe of an environment in our clinic as possible. Implementing these necessary protocols and ensuring our staff and our patient’s health during the COVID-19 pandemic is of our utmost concern; accordingly, we will be operating more slowly than usual as our staff adjusts to the “new normal”. Please extend your patience during this reopening phase.
Our Care Coordinator will be reaching out to reschedule all nonemergency appointments that were canceled as a result of the COVID-19 closure as we continue to resume full dental services.
