Oral Health in the Era of Covid 19

By now you have probably had more than your fill of information about our unprecedented present circumstance. As you may know our dental office as all other others in the state of New Jersey have been asked to cease all non emergency care until at least April 20th. We have complied with that request and are essentially closed at least until that time.

I am, however, still available for consultation and we are prepared to handle true emergency circumstances. If you feel you need to contact me, do not hesitate to call our office at 201-339-1486, leave a message, and you will also be directed to my cell phone number if necessary for more immediate contact. I would advise you not to seek care at a hospital emergency facility for a dental problem since they are focused on the Covid 19 problem and also because of the increased likelihood that you could also come in contact with a positive Corona individual.

To decrease the possibility of incurring an oral health emergency during this time, it is vitally important that you are very proactive with you own oral health. Brushing and flossing diligently has never been more important. Sensible diets that are low in refined carbohydrates and sugars will also be helpful . Lastly, there are reports that oral rinses using 1.5% hydrogen peroxide such as Peroxyl (OTC) are more effective than conventional mouthwash against the Corona virus.

We will get past this. The more we cooperate with the public health recommendations, the sooner we can get back to our normal lives.

Wishing all of you good health,

I hope this email finds you and your family in good health. With all of the recent developments with the Coronavirus (Covid-19) issue, you may not have thought much about the effect on visits to our office for dental care. The most recent recommendations from professional sources are that we should limit visits to our office to essential dental care. This is mainly due to the severe shortage of the protective gear that we wear (masks, gloves, etc) This means that we will still be available for dental problems that require immediate attention but routine care is being deferred.

We are in the process of contacting those of you who have visits scheduled in the near future in order to postpone those visits until public health officials signal that the incidence of viral infection has been mitigated and supplies of gloves and masks are again regularly available.
We are confident in our ability to safely treat those patients in our office that need care. In addition to the infection control measures that we have employed for years, we are also taking the extra steps to regularly disinfect, the non-clinical, public areas of the office If, at any time, you need to contact us or have any questions, please feel free to call, text, or email. These are unusual times that are testing our mettle, but I know that, together, we can get through it.

Yours truly,
Scott M Dubowsky DMD

My ritual. I have a piece of Duparr’s boysenberry pie every time I visit LA. The first time was 1956.
