OFFICE HOUR RESTRICTIONS

Good morning to our patients, friends, and family,

We are always here for you! However, during this time we are only allowed to SEE or TREAT you if you fit a certain criteria.

We have a list from the American Dental Association what constitutes a "Dental Emergency". If you have any questions or concerns PLEASE call or text the office and we will respond to you accordingly. Our new phone system has its good and bad, the ability to access our patients easily is a good feature.

We have been told at this point in time we will be allowed to see non emergency patients again beginning Monday April 6th. We will keep you informed as the Governor updates the instructions for all New Yorker's.

This is a wonderful time for all of us to do things we normally do not have time for. It has been wonderful to speak with some of you to hear what you have been doing to make this time "quality time".

I was thinking maybe trying to floss and brush more! I haven't heard that one yet!

Again, we are here for you at SARATOGA SMILE CARE, if you should need us!

Be well and wear a smile, it looks good on everyone!

Leisha
