Happy July! We hope everyone’s summer is off to a great start! Our team at Simsbury Pediatric and Adolescent Dentistry is looking forward to enjoying weekend getaways, outdoor summer fun, and time with family.
Our very own Alison and Kelly are celebrating birthdays this month! If you have an upcoming visit, be sure to wish them a happy birthday!
We want to take this time to remind our patients to stay on top of their oral health during the summer months. When children are home from school, they tend to eat more snacks throughout the day with increased outdoor activity. Because of this, we can sometimes forget to drink water, which helps wash away food in your mouth between brushing.
In addition to this, we encourage staying away from sugary treats as they can lead to cavities. Regardless of what you choose to consume, it’s important to drink lots of water, brush twice a day, and floss once a day. Did we mention to drink lots of water?
We have a few office announcements! On July 1st, we gave away a $500 gift certificate for the Hartford Yard Goats to a lucky family whose daughter wrote a very sweet review. She stated she gets “treated like a queen” when she comes into the office for a visit. We loved hearing that! Our third quarter drawing will be for $500 to Great Wolf Lodge! Be sure to write a review or refer a friend to our office to earn entries.
For those of you who haven’t visited our office for a while, we are asking that you call our office once you arrive in the parking lot. At that time, we will provide you with instructions on when to enter the building. Please note, masks are required in the building and we will have you complete a Covid questionnaire. Additionally, temperature checks will be taken for everyone coming in, even the FedEx guy!
If you haven’t schedule visit for a while due to the risk of Covid, we want to assure you that we employ consistently high cleaning standards and practices, both before and throughout Covid. All clinical staff wears a high level of PPE and the front desk staff wears masks and work jackets. We also have plexiglass that separates our front desk employees and patients. On top of all of this, we continue to maintain social distancing in the reception area.
To schedule a visit, please call us at 860-658-7548, Monday through Friday (except Wednesday) from 8am to 5pm. You can also send us an email requesting an appointment or you can click on the interactive chat on our website and request an appointment.
We also want to thank for everyone's patience while we launched our new patient management software system. We had quite the learning curve and are feeling more and more confident with the new system each day. We are also in the midst of planning our 20th Year Celebration, to be held on Sept 25. More details to follow.
From all of us here at Simsbury Pediatric and Adolescent Dentistry, we hope that you have a safe and healthy summer!
