Xmas dinner this year was a little different. I had eggplant parmigiana and focaccia from @deliciousitalian aka Mary PalumboCollings and a bottle of wine for each of my wonderful staff to enjoy. Here are some pics.

Winner winner toothbrush winners! Our November drawing winners were Gary for the adult toothbrush and Audrina for the child’s brush!

Thank you to our patient Steven Leon. These cookies are the best and about the size of my head!

Our pediatric toothbrush winner for October! Little Luna! We decided to pick one adult and one child winner for our OralB electric toothbrush drawing. So if you have appointments in November and December we will be picking an adult and child winner at the end of each month. Make sure to schedule your appointments now!

Oral B electric toothbrush drawing! A winner will be chosen every month from October through December. All you need to do is have an appointment to enter! Woohoo! Brush and floss! Can I get a woot woot?

Winner of our October drawing! Dale was pleased to get his new Oral B toothbrush! We are smiling underneath our masks!!

So a belated Bosses day lunch from the other employees of the month, Lea ,Kumi, Shannon, Momi,and Imelda! Thanks for the delicious food and orchid!!! I have the best staff.

In case you forgot what we look like! Just got some #mixtiles up on our walls.

I have a new mascot. Say Hi to Baby Yoda!

Apparently last Friday was Bosses day. Thanks Kristin for my perfect gifts #babyyoda and #bts coffee featuring #worldwidehandsome. Does this mean I’m Army?

Can you tell I am smiling? Thank you Yunice Danque for my new Japanese themed scrub cap! I love it!

Shout out to Lea our awesome RDA for making us matching scrub caps. Today is storm trooper day! May the force be with you. Jedi and Yoda material are hard to find.

The glass doors are now installed! We now have all the pieces in place to keep you safe. Woohoo!

This is what your hygiene appointment will look like. Here’s Kristin with our patient Cheryl. She’s using an intral oral device called the Releaf as well as our extra oral suction device. This is all to minimize the aerosols in our office. After Cheryl, leaves we fog the room with hypochlorous acid which is just salt in electrolyzed water to kill anything left in the air in our room. Then we clean and sanitize as usual. Our hygienists are eager to welcome you all back!

This is my new cold fogger using hypochlorous acid to sanitize our office. Woohoo! Sort of like Ghostbusters!

Ok this is the coolest! It’s my extra oral evacuation unit. Woohoo! Now my office will be a little louder than before. As if I already wasn’t loud enough. Btw that’s me in the left.

Considering this option for PPE. We would have to change our name to DINO-MITE Smiles.

Hello everyone! This is not an Oscar worthy short documentary but it gives you an idea what it will be like when you all come back!

See? Not cute! We are practicing our donning and doffing of our PPE. Still waiting for some equipment, booties and the right N-95 masks! The construction is delayed but we have a good temporary solution in place. We will be ready to see some of you next week. And hopefully will be able to ramp up in a few weeks. We will call you for appointments that were postponed and for others dealing with some emergencies that we’ve put off. Please give us some grace during this time as we figure out our new normal. My jazz hands are here to welcome you back but I still don’t look cute.

Please do not do try this at home!!! Heehee
