USEFUL RESOURCES DURING COVID-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is vital that we take an all hands on deck approach to help reduce the spread. Thank you to our patients that are following government guidelines and staying at home. While it is tough to stay at home for long periods of time, here are a few resources to help while staying at home.
REGULAR ORAL CARE MATTERS
Even though you may not be able to see your dentist right now, it is vital to keep up with your regular oral care at home. Has your oral care at home been lacking? Now is an excellent time to work on improving it. Always follow the recommended guidelines to maintain your oral health by brushing twice daily and flossing before going to bed. If you wear dentures, remember to remove them daily and brush them with a denture brush.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A FREE TRIAL OR SERVICE
Some of your favourite companies may be offering free service trials or even offering their paid services for no fee for a short time. Remember to use caution before signing up since some companies still require your billing details to start using their free services. Review all terms and conditions before you sign up.
