Our team is so looking forward to being back in the office as soon as we can safely be together again and resume patient care. We are all carefully evaluating what that might look like in the office and educating ourselves about how to provide the high-quality dentistry you’ve come to expect in the safest way possible.
In the meantime, it has been interesting to follow stories in the news that indicate the connection between overall health and the strong immune system we need to fight the virus. People with compromised health are much more vulnerable to worst case scenario with the virus. We cannot stress enough the importance of a consistent dental home care routine at this time. It is a factor you CAN control in boosting your immunity and improving your body’s ability to resist the virus! Brush every morning and before bed for 2 full minutes. You should also brush after every meal. Remember fluoride toothpaste and rinse help prevent tooth decay in adults AND kids. Limiting your sugar intake will keep off the pounds, and reduce chances for cavities in your teeth.
If you are not a regular flosser now is the perfect time to develop your technique and the commitment to flossing at least once a day. Make it a family activity or tension breaker… no one can argue while flossing!
We realize that many of our patients are out of work at least temporarily and this may be impacting financial decisions you have to make. Putting off needed dental care leads to more costly treatment down the road.
Periodontal inflammation and dental infections can impact your heart health and immune system. Because of COVID-19, it is more important than ever to maintain the dental health of you and your family.
Our team is happy to help you make financial arrangements for your treatment costs. As many of you have probably seen in the last year or so, dental insurance plans are contributing less and less to the cost of your care. There are more restrictions and denials than we have ever seen. If you do not have, or lose your dental insurance, we have created a TDA Care Plan. This is a treatment membership plan you can join to save on the cost of needed care with monthly, or annual, budget friendly payments. Our goal is to make excellent care accessible and affordable to everyone. If you want to learn more about the membership plan, or have any questions about your care going forward, do not hesitate to reach out.

Stay safe, be well and we will hopefully see you soon!
