Public Service Announcement: Your mask filters out most of the bad stuff in the air. That’s it’s job. It’s like a filter. It can’t do it’s job if it isn’t over your mouth and nose or under your chin. Consider the inside of your mask clean and the outside dirty. Don’t touch the inside with unclean hands. Once you touch the outside your hands are now dirty. Try to leave it alone and not touch and adjust it all the time, and never hold it in your mouth while using your cell phone. Stay healthy!

We’re back in the office this week. We will be seeing emergency and non-emergency patients. We have added a HEPA air purifier to our office, as well as instituted the recommended infection control protocols from the Department of Health, OSHA , and the American Dental Association. We have instituted a new questionnaire and temperature screenings which will be necessary prior to treatment. The hygiene department will begin seeing patients on may 18th. We will be rescheduling missed hygiene appointments as quickly as we can. Thanks for your patience and attention in this time of change. We look forward to seeing you and helping you with your Dental Care.

To keep everyone informed as to the current situation of our dental practice, we will continue to reach out via these Facebook posting. We encourage each of you to continue your efforts of staying informed in these unprecedented and rapidly evolving times. Updated information is put out daily on reliable websites such as CDC.gov, and RIDOH.gov. We have all been impacted by these significant changes over the past week. Our local schools have been closed, food and paper goods at our local grocery stores are in limited supply and many of you are now working from home. To do our part in limiting the spread of COVID-19 we are doing our part as well. As many of you know we have temporarily closed our dental practice effecive march 17, 2020, and have canceled all preventative and non-urgent dental services for the next three weeks. For the immediate future we do have an office staff member answering the telephone from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday. In the event of a dental Emergency the doctors will make an arrangement to help you with your problem. For now we must all adjust to our new roles and become part of the solution to this public health outbreak. The weeks ahead may still leave us with some uncertainty and with much to navigate, but we want to extend our thanks to each of you for your understanding and support. Continue to protect the health and safety of your family and friends as we look for encouraging news in the days ahead.

Sincerely In Health,

Here in Rhode Island as in most regions of the world, we are facing the challenges of a global pandemic due to the threat of the coronavirus (COVID-19). The rapidly evolving and continually updated amount of information has resulted in unprecedented actions taken to support and enhance our public health. On Friday, March 13, Governor Gina Raimondo announced a temporary closing of our RI Public Schools. This announcement followed some of the cooperative efforts taken worldwide by the sporting and entertainment industries, the colleges and academic institutions, and even Disney Parks to temporarily shut down and prevent large gatherings of individuals in a social environment. As the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has described, this bold action taken to interrupt the community spread of the coronavirus is an important step in trying to lower the level of risk of exposure.
Much is still not known about COVID-19, but data collected from home and abroad is being interpreted to describe not only the modes of infectious transmission, but the related symptoms and the individuals most at risk from the severity of this disease.
In an abundance of caution, our dental practice has made the difficult decision to become part of the solution in these global efforts to eradicate the virus and its detrimental impact on the public health. We will take the proactive measures of temporarily closing our dental practice to all elective dental services. This includes our hygiene services as well as our wellness and preventative non-emergent dental services. This temporary disruption of service is planned for the next 14 days (starting Monday March 17) at which time we hope to have a better understanding of where we stand in our community with transmission and testing of the COVID-19 virus. As always we will be available for any dental emergencies you may encounter and we will continue to follow and exceed the recommendations for infection control practices put in place by the CDC and OSHA as described for the health and safety of all our patients and staff members.
We share with each of you the hopes that this uncertain health threat will quickly pass in the coming days, and we support all efforts to play our part as dental healthcare providers in protecting the health and well-being of everyone in our practice and our community.

Respectfully in Health,

Stephen Falco Jr., DMD

The department of health is recommending frequent hand washing, or alcohol hand sanitizer if washing isn’t an option. Avoid touching your mouth eyes and nose, and try to cover your cough by coughing into your elbow. The corona virus and flu virus is here, this won’t go away anytime soon. If you feel ill and have flu like symptoms or cold symptoms please call us to reschedule your appointment. If you are sick and need to go to your doctor, you should call ahead to inform them of your symptoms. We all need to be diligent in dealing with these viruses. Thanks for your help!

Yup, they're still working on water street in Warren. Expect it to take an extra 10 minutes from Barrington. Parking is also a challenge with some of the one way roads inaccessible. I hope it looks nice when they finish.
