Hello all!

We are happy to announce that we will reopen the practice on Wednesday, June 10. While many things have changed, the same wonderful team is looking forward to welcoming you back into a safe and healthy environment that exceeds the CDC standards for treating patients during this Covid-19 pandemic.

Some of the changes you will see include:

-Our office will stress the importance of being healthy when you come in for an appointment. Your reminder messages will encourage you to call and reschedule if you are the least bit ill. When you arrive, you will be asked a set of questions and your temperature will be taken with a simple touch-free thermometer.

-You must wear a mask to enter the building. Hand sanitizer is available at the door and must be used.

-The waiting room has limited seating to allow for social distancing. Appointment times will be staggered and we ask that you arrive on time. If you run late, call the office (518-374-1935) to be given guidance about entering. We ask that you come alone unless you need assistance.

-The CDC mandated hygienists to go back to hand scaling in order to reduce aerosol in the operatories.

-The business office is challenged to meet all of our patients’ needs. CDC guidelines require us to add more time to each hygiene appointment and that has reduced the number of patients we can see daily. We ask for your patience while we work on catching up these last three months. We are going to offer some Saturday hygiene appointments so think about that as a possibility.

-The amount of new Personal Protection Equipment may surprise you. The medical staff have added wearing shields, N95 masks, gowns and head caps to their usual uniforms. We have a wonderful fogger that safely kills bacteria, fungi and viruses. Every operatory will be fogged between patients. The superoxidized water (HCOI) is now used in healthcare, food safety, water treatment and general sanitation. It is described as a weak acid similar to that of a mild citrus juice. We were fortunate to be able to get this machine since they are on backorder everywhere.

-We are charging a $10 Personal Protection Equipment fee now. Currently insurance companies do not cover this so you will have to pay out-of-pocket at the time of service.

-And finally, we have limited appointments available. If you fail to cancel and you do not show up for your appointment you may be charged a $50 fee.

The day after the office closed we began working on upgrading our infectious disease control to meet needs of the Covid-19 Pandemic. It has been a lot of work but we are confident that we have achieved the goal of creating a safe environment for all of us. To make an appointment, call the office at (518) 374-1935.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Our number one priority is defeating the Corona Virus in whatever way we can. The ADA and the New York State Dental Society have recommended that dental offices join the national movement to close. We are going to honor that. If you have an emergency, call the office and a small team will make sure you are treated.

We will reopen when New York State determines that it is safe to do so.

Remember to practice social distancing and please stay safe.

Thank you for your understanding.
