You probably also have had to make several\nadjustments to your usual routine through at-home schooling, working from home,\nand social distancing throughout this pandemic. If you\u2019re like most parents out\nthere, you\u2019re wondering when it will be safe for life to \u201creopen\u201d and return to\nnormal again! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As your trusted pediatric dentist, our team at Coastal\nPediatric Dentistry wants you to know that our focus has always been and always\nwill be on your child\u2019s well-being. While COVID-19 poses a threat, we\u2019ll be prepared\nwhen the time comes to welcome back our young patients to our practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Open for Emergencies Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like many other practices and businesses, Coastal\nPediatric Dentistry is temporarily closed for all non-essential, non-urgent\nservices including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coastalpediatricdentistry.net\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dental\ncheckups and cleanings<\/a>. However, if your child experiences a dental\nemergency, such as tooth pain or a knocked-out tooth, you can contact our team,\nand we\u2019ll be there to provide the necessary treatment to fix the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep an Eye on Our Website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team is closely monitoring updates from government and\nhealth agencies and from state and national dental associations and are\nfollowing their guidance to ensure everyone\u2019s safety. When we get the word that\nwe can reopen, hopefully in the middle of May or early June, we will post\nupdates to our website to let you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety\u2014Our First Priority<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Long before COVID-19 ever came into the scene, our team was\ndedicated to maintaining a healthy, safe environment for little ones. We have\nalways adhered to strict sterilization protocols. Not only do our dentists and\ndental staff wash their hands and put on brand-new gloves for each patient, but\nwe wear masks and other personal protection equipment (PPE) to keep everyone\nsafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moving Forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When the governor starts to allow practices to reopen, you\ncan bet that we will take extra precautionary steps to limit the risk of\ninfection for you, your child, and our team. Before opening our doors, we will\nput together a detailed plan for keeping our practice as safe as possible and\nthen share this information on our website for your reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until COVID-19 is no longer a serious danger, try to manage\nyour child\u2019s oral health from home as best as you can. But know that we are\nstill here for them if help is needed. Then, once we are available for regular\nappointments again, you can have peace of mind coming to us for your child\u2019s\noral health while knowing that you\u2019re doing everything you can to stop the\nspread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coastal Pediatric Dentistry has temporarily closed due to\nthe COVID-19 pandemic.
