We understand you may have questions regarding face covering requirements in our dental office with the August 11, 2022, CDC announcement. We greatly respect everyone’s opinion and convictions regarding such a sensitive and controversial subject; however, we ask that all patients and visitors continue to wear face masks in our dental practice, except when seated in the patient chair during treatment. We have adopted our policies to comply with the California Department of Public Health’s guidance issued on February 28, 2022, which states that face masks are still required for all individuals in health care settings, including dental offices, regardless of their vaccination status. At South Ontario Family Dental we believe in putting the health and safety of our dental team and patients first and have always adopted the most cautious approach regarding government and health officials’ recommendations in response to the pandemic. We thank you all for your understanding and patience as we work diligently to protect the health and safety of our patients and dental team during these challenging times. If you have any questions or concerns about our dental office’s face covering policy, please contact our office at (909) 983-0908

Special Care Dentistry

Patients with special needs are those, who due to physical, medical, developmental or cognitive conditions, require special consideration when receiving dental treatment. This can include people with Autism, Alzheimer’s disease, Down syndrome, spinal cord injuries and countless other conditions or injuries that can make standard dental procedures more difficult.

Caring for a special needs patient takes compassion and understanding. While most dentists can accommodate for special needs patients, we at Dr. Wayne Nakamura, DDS, Inc., focus on meeting the needs and working with the limitations of these patients. If you, your child or someone you know has special needs, please feel free to contact us to discuss you and your loved ones’ options.
