Fall is in full swing and winter is right around the corner. We hope you enjoyed the halloween festivities and found a way to enjoy the spooky season despite COVID physical gathering restrictions. November is the last month of fall, and as daylight becomes sacred, it's necessary to prioritize your health, both emotional and physical. Overall wellness includes your dental health, diet, mental well-being, and healthy habits.

Keeping your body in good physical shape helps keep your mind in good shape too. In this month's article, we've outlined 5 ways to prevent dental health problems that also contribute to your overall well-being. Your teeth are a vital part of your body, and taking care of them helps you get in the habit of taking care of your whole body. We hope you find these dental and dietary tips helpful for the coming stay-at-home season.

Sincerely,

During these uncertain times everyone at DNDC is doing their part in keeping our communities and families safe! Our COVID safety protocols include pre-screening all our patients prior to each appointment. We ask that all patients sanitize their hands before and after entering the clinic. Patients will be asked to wear a mask and keep it on until their dental treatment begins. Temperatures of all patients are taken upon arrival and all staff temperatures are monitored throughout the day. Plexiglass barriers have been installed in reception, and seating is scattered and separate from other patients. We are trying to limit the number of people in the clinic at any given time. If you can come alone to appointments, please do! We have specials medical grade, air purifiers, in each operatory, turning over the air and cleaning it. You will notice the clinical staff will be wearing extra PPE during appointments. Extra sterilization between treatment rooms are in effect, on top of our regular rigid sterilization protocols.

We love hearing from our patients! Please let us know about your patient experience or any feedback by leaving a review on either Facebook or Google.
