I am thinking that Facebook should change Throwback Thursday to "Thankful" Thursday in our current situation. So here's what I am thankful for:
-My family is safe and healthy
-My patients and their families have not been infected with the virus.
-We live in a country that has the financial ability to help people in need.
-The generous nature of individuals in times of crisis.

The list could go on and on...what are you thankful for?

To our dental family,
Unfortunately, at this time we are closed due to the current situation with the COVID-19 viral pandemic. Governor DeSantis has issued a mandate which will reserve essential medical supplies and personal protective equipment for the treatment of patients with urgent complications from the coronavirus. ALL hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, office surgery centers, dental, orthodontic and endodontic offices, and other health care practitioners' offices are mandated to provide emergency care ONLY.

Currently, all patients’ scheduled appointments between now and May 1, 2020 have been postponed or rescheduled. The mandate from the governor did not provide an official date of release from this restriction, if it extends beyond May 1st or ends sooner we will call all patients affected.

If you are a current patient of record and experiencing a true dental emergency please call the office (904)223-9999 and Dr. DeLucia will return your call.

Stay safe out there and please practice social distancing and heed the instructions to help us all get through this as soon as possible.

Thank you for your entrusting us with your dental care, we look forward to seeing you all again soon.

-Drs. Wayne and Michael DeLucia, Lauren, Cindy, and Theresa

My patient's mother just asked me about whitening...here's an article regarding the appropriate age to whiten teeth using bleaching products.😀

Understanding the risks and what the experts say might encrouage you to think twice about letting your child use white strips for teeth.

Thought for Thursday! Did you know more than 5 million teeth are injured or knocked out every year, resulting in nearly 500 million dollars spent on replacing teeth.
Up to 39% of all dental injuries are related to sports. Please make sure you kids wear a custom fitted mouth guard.

Parents ask me this question all the time. Very important to start brushing your children's teeth once they come into their mouth with a toothpaste that contains fluoride. Only a rice size amount of toothpaste is necessary for toddlers until they can spit out excess!👶
