NOTICE OF DENTAL PRACTICE CLOSURE AND AVAILABILITY OF PATIENT RECORDS
As of October 31, 2020 I will be retiring from the practice of dentistry. No patients will
be seen for dental care after that date, and no new patients will be accepted after today.
While it is hard for me to say goodbye to my many patients and colleagues, the Covid
pandemic has simply made my continued practice unfeasible. Therefore, I feel it is time for
me to move forward into the next stage of my life. This has been a difficult decision as I
have truly loved being your pediatric dentist. Working with you and your families has given
me years of joy and I am forever grateful for your love, support, and business.
If you require assistance in finding a new provider, the Maine Dental Association has a
convenient website to assist you:

enclosed authorization form by mail or by fax at the number indicated on the bottom of the
form. You may contact the office at 207-772-4111 so that arrangements can be made prior to
the office’s closure. Records may be retrieved anytime before October 31st at the following
times:
- Monday-Thursday: 8 AM to 4 PM
- Friday, October 23 (only): 8 AM to 4PM
Between October 31 and November 30, records may be retrieved on Fridays between the hours of
10 AM and 12 PM. After November 30, records may be retrieved by appointment.

Sincerely,
Dr. Susan Russett-Collett
