To All Our Followers, Families, & Friends:
During this extraordinary time in our country, state, and community, we must all resolve to work together to fight the COVID-19 virus that has so significantly impacted our daily lives.
As recommended by the CDC (Center for Disease Control), the best-known way to eliminate the spread of the virus is for people not to gather in groups—now called “social distancing.” If we, as a community, simultaneously help each other not to congregate, we will put a significant dent in the spread of this virus.
The main reason for social distancing is not only to slow the spread of the virus among our population but to help our hospital systems. By reducing the spread of the virus, we are essentially reducing the number of patients that would overwhelm our medical capabilities.
Our dental office is closed to help in the efforts to conserve protective equipment such as masks, gloves, and disinfectant that are more needed by hospitals than dental offices. Our closure is a statewide directive and many such states have enacted similar directives. We are only open for emergencies.
The ONLY way we are going to slow down and ultimately stop this virus is to work together as a nation. The sooner we take our medicine, and all stop congregating for this next month—and practice social distancing—the sooner we might be able to see each other face to face again.
During this time, we will be switching up our social media efforts to provide relevant information about the corona virus and to offer up comfort and calm with inspirational messages.
To all your families and friends—stay safe, healthy, and 6-feet apart.
Most Sincerely,
Dr. Dawnie Kildoo
