Last week, Major League Baseball announced their plan to play a proposed 60-game regular season that is anticipated to begin on July 23^rd or 24^th 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.

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. They are currently offering emergency dental services, including emergency extractions, treatment for cracked or broken teeth, swollen or painful gums and more.

New Hyde Park, NY –– Dental365 is here for the community. As the largest dental healthcare provider in the area, the dental practice assures community members that they can be counted on for dental emergencies. Dental365 has committed to keeping offices throughout the New York Metropolitan Area open to the community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since mid-March, all routine hygiene and elective dental procedure services have been put on hold and Dental365 continually monitors information that becomes available from the CDC, government officials, and the ADA.

“The safety of our patients, staff, and community is of utmost importance” states Dr. Scott Asnis, Founder and CEO of Dental365. “It is our responsibility to continue to provide emergency dental care during this time, not only to support our community but to also ease the strain on ERs to allow them to focus on treating those in critical care.”

By eliminating hygiene visits during this epidemic and only offering emergency care, Dental365 is accomplishing the following:

• Helping slow the spread of COVID-19
• Preserving the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for more emergent medical and dental procedures
