Major League Baseball is Back

Last week, Major League Baseball announced their plan to play a proposed 60-game regular season that is anticipated to begin on July 23rd or 24th this year.  This announcement comes after the Spring Training Camps were shut down due to the Coronavirus Pandemic in March of this year.

According to the MLB, players will undergo COVID-19 testing and begin training camp if testing negative for the virus that has shuttered the nation. Players, coaches, and support staff will also be tested every other day during training camps and throughout the regular and postseason.

Fans are excited to have sports back on television, despite not being able to attend games in-person. For Dental365, this means that planned signage will be featured on televised games throughout the season in both Yankee Stadium and Citi Field.

“A lot of people are excited to get baseball back on the screen,” says Dr. Scott Asnis, Founder and CEO of Dental365, “after months of staying home, it is nice to be able to get a little normalcy back into our lives, even if it isn’t quite the same as years past.”

Dental365 Among The Safest Dental Practices

New Hyde Park, NY – Dental365, the largest and fastest growing dental practice in the Northeast has been open for patients throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in office locations throughout the New York Metropolitan Area.

While their offices have always been among the safest places to be in terms of cleanliness and sanitization, they continue to be diligent with strict screening measures and stringent infection control prevention protocols, providing patients and staff members ease of mind during emergency dental visits and procedures.

Their sanitization, infection control protocols and social distancing measures include the following:

  • Allowing patients the option to wait in their vehicles (where applicable) until they are ready to be seen to avoid waiting areas
  • Taking and recording all staff members temperatures prior to each shift, to ensure only healthy personnel are treating patients
  • Taking temperatures and guiding patients to handwashing stations upon entering offices and instructing patients to rinse with peroxide or Listerine prior to treatments
  • Requiring doctors and medical staff to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times
  • Thoroughly and regularly cleaning all surfaces in offices that can be exposed to infection between patients
  • Requiring symptomatic patients to reschedule appointments to later dates

In addition, Dental365 offices have large and wide-open offices, with plenty of exam rooms where patients and staff members are comfortable practicing social distancing. These protocols result in the Dental365 offices being one of the safest spaces for dental treatment. The community has shown their appreciation for having safe offices to visit for emergency dental treatments and procedures during the Coronavirus pandemic. One patient writes, “I had the misfortune of needing emergency dental work during COVID-19…Everything was clean and following all COVID-19 safety precautions. My exam was thorough, and the solution took me out of pain. This won’t be my last visit. They are wonderful.”

Dental365 is a full-service family dental practice with locations throughout the New York Metropolitan Area and Connecticut. Their goal is to serve the communities they are in with the latest technology in oral healthcare and wellness.
