HOW WE CAN HELP ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS THROUGH TELEDENTISTRY
Teledentistry is a relatively new concept in the dental world. However, it is quite common in the medical community. Basically, it is a way you can connect to your dentist via a live video call. There is a two-way interaction between the dentist and the patient. In this way, you will be able to ask any dental questions you have and the dentist may be able to see what you are referring to in your mouth.
I encourage you to maintain social distancing and to stay at home unless you have to go to the grocery store, pharmacy or your doctor. If we all practice social distancing as we should, the shorter it will be that we have to.
As you know we are here to help and we are open for emergencies. However, not all your questions or concerns may be an emergency that we will see in the office. Thus I have created a way to still help you with your dental concerns. For example, you may have a question that may be an emergency but you are not sure if you need to come into the office, or you are not sure what to do with your Invisalign trays as you are running out of trays at home; or you have broken a tooth and don’t know what to do.
We have decided to provide this service for free to our community. All you have to do is call our office at 954-566-7479 or go on our website www.drjohnsondds.com
Our emergency rooms and urgent care facilities don’t want to be dealing with dental emergencies right now. They are inundated with bigger issues. We want to leave them available for medical emergencies and Covid-19 patients. So, we are offering this to you for FREE. You can get a free consultation via a one on one video with me. This is how we can help you and help our medical colleagues alleviate their calls or dental emergencies.
(What we are doing - making our systems more efficient and patient-friendly so your experiences with us are exceptional, enhancing our staff with online training, our zoom sessions for staff meetings that we still held twice a week. It’s really nice to see our fellow team members!!!)
Lastly, let’s stay positive. This will end. It’s not forever. Enjoy your time off and make the best of it. Do the things that were on your to-do list that you just didn’t have enough time for. I’ve been able to have dinner with my kids every night; I’m cooking more; we walk the dog together as a family now.
So as the last word, I’m really looking forward to seeing you all again very soon!!!!
