How's business in your office?

 I get asked this question a lot by my patients. While in the last year we were seeing fewer patients, starting in this March I noticed an increase in patients scheduled in my office. Many of these patients were  "lost in action" during the protracted Covid Pandemic. Many  returnees mentioned that after their recent booster and the simultaneous lull in New Covid cases in NYC, they felt safe enough to visit us. 

While my staff and I were happy to see them again, many have experience dental problems and put off seeking treatment until after they were full vaccinated. The truth is that with or without current vaccination seeking dental treatment is a safe option and probably is preferable to delaying dental care indefinitely until the pandemic is over. This is especially true because our pandemic seems to becoming endemic ( it is here to stay... Like the season flu or the risk of contracting a common cold). 

I am not implying that proper precautions should not be maintained. Our office has air purifiers through out our space and all my staff is vaccinated and wearing appropriate PPE( masks and gloves) while treating patients. All patients are screened prior to treatment and patients who report experiencing recent health problems that might be covid are asked to wait 10 days before having an appointment in our office. Patients are instructed to leave their masks on until they are seated in an operatory and have their temperature checked upon entering the office.

If you haven't seen a dentist in the last twelve months we will be happy to see you. Appointments can be booked over the phone (212-685-0312) or by visiting our office website at: lspindeldds.com and using our book and appointment button. 

Most patients have reported that they are happy with the steps we have taken to keep them safe and were glad that they came in for dental treatment and you will probably feel the same as well!
