Discussion: 'Bent will be touched

His staff have actually had to talk some people *out* of coming to the dentist - elderly people, immunocompromised people, etc. I know some folks are afraid to go to their health care providers right now but there has been a lot of demand.

Nothing like clean healthy pearly whites! My dentist broke his arm running earlier this week...so on top of pandemic, and him being also a practicing GP...his life is crazy but he is so flattered that people are keen to keep their mouths healthy!

Yep, folks are keen to come in. They all said that they knew I was above-and-beyond for infection control and healthy air before the pandemic. They say we’re more careful than the hospitals right now. Hearing that has been a bright light in a difficult time.

I am getting a lot of requests to join our practice, from folks whose dentist threw in the towel or who isn’t keeping up.
Sadly we have a huge backlog, everything takes twice as long and we have half the staff.
