Ocean Family Dental

During the COVID-19 pandemic, dental offices are postponing routine care. Contact us if you think you have a dental emergency to ensure that you receive care that shouldn’t be postponed. In the meantime, brush two minutes, twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and floss regularly. Avoid sugary food and drinks to reduce the risk of cavities. The pause in routine dental appointments supports shelter at home policies and helps flatten the curve. When conditions change, we will again be available to help you maintain your oral health through regular preventive and treatment services.

Another reason to schedule (and not forget) about coming in for your dental cleanings!
