Dear Community,
Dental exams and dental cleanings are part of preventive care. Your oral health is essential to your overall health.
Dental practices have reopened safely and are seeing patients for emergency and preventive dental care visits. Many dental offices have implemented enhanced safety measures and are following recommended CDC guidelines. The dentist wants to make sure you have the best dental care, and your dental visit is safe for you and his staff. Be sure to call your dental provider to schedule a dental checkup for you and your family.
Please continue your daily dental care routine by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing daily. Please relay that message, model the positive behavior, and/or assist grandparents and children with their daily dental care. If you need to see a dentist, please contact your local dental provider or call the OC Health Referral Line (1-800-564-8448). Thank you to everyone for keeping yourself and the community safe by adhering to state and local guidelines. Below are some COVID-19 related resources.
Warmest Regards,
OC Health Care Agency
