   Prior to the appointment, the wellness questionnaire must be completed. The questionnaire will be texted/emailed to you.

   Please refrain from extremely hot or cold beverages 25 minutes prior to the appointment for thermometer accuracy. Please note our brushing station is closed, and we recommend brushing and flossing at home.

   When you arrive at Ballard Ortho, a team member will be there to greet you with a friendly smile! Please remain outside the front door and follow our social distancing emoji signs. We request that you and your family please wear face coverings and arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment to be screened.

   Existing parents and family members/guests are requested to remain outside the office, or in their vehicles, during the appointment.
