Our top priority is the health and well-being of our patients, staff, families and community.  To that end, we have decided to temporarily close our practice for the next three weeks, beginning today, March 17th, in accordance with the guidance provided by the Massachusetts Dental Society and the American Dental Association.  We believe that this closure will allow us to more effectively adhere to Governor Baker’s recommendations and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance of social separation. Limiting our routine dental appointments will also help preserve the limited supplies of personal protective equipment (masks, gloves) critical for emergency care.

There will be a dentist on-call in the event of a dental emergency.  Though we will be in the office on certain mornings to see emergencies, please contact us at 617-776-2323 if you have a dental emergency.

As health care professionals, we believe we have a role to play in “flattening the curve” in order to slow the spread of the Coronavirus (Covid-19).  If you have a non-urgent appointment scheduled in the coming weeks, our office will contact you to help reschedule your appointment.

We know this is a challenge for everyone; however it is important to take care of yourself. All of us are in this together and the situation will eventually resolve. In addition to the handwashing and social distancing recommendations you are already likely aware of, here is a useful article from the Centers for Disease Control about managing stress and anxiety.

We hope you find this helpful.

Thank you.  We wish you good health and safety.

Drs. Paul Dobrin and Ramesh Izedian, and the staff at Dental Arts Davis Square
