COVID-19 Update

Recently, the World Health Organization released an announcement stating the discouragement of the public seeking essential dental care during the pandemic. We, along with the Academy of General Dentistry and the American Dental Association, do not agree with this statement. Following the guidelines put in place by the ADA, Florida's dental board, and CDC, we have been able to safely see our patients for routine visits, restorative treatments, and emergency care. Delaying a visit could cause long-term issues and exasperate health problems. See below some of the guidelines we are following or speak with us to learn more about how we are protecting our patient's health during this pandemic.

We have had quite a few questions as to why we require you to wear a mask at our office. Interim Infection Prevention and Control Guidance for Dental Settings were released by the CDC 04/27/2020.

The guidelines state:

•To address asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission, implement source control (require face masks or cloth face coverings) for everyone entering the dental setting (dental healthcare personnel [DHCP][ 1 ] and patients), regardless of whether they have COVID-19 symptoms.

•Actively screen everyone on the spot for fever and symptoms of COVID-19 before they enter the dental setting.

•Actively screen DHCP on the spot for fever and symptoms before every shift.

Additionally, we are asking you to sanitize your hands when you arrive. We are doing our very best to protect you and our team members. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!

Deborah H.
"Dr Scales and his staff have done an impressive job implementing CDC guidelines. No detail was overlooked concerning physical distancing, disinfecting and creating a clean air environment. I had no worries about receiving a dental treatment and am glad to know I can still get great dental care during a pandemic."

Darlene A.
"It is such a welcoming sound to hear the christian music in the office. Don't get me wrong I like my rock, pop, r&b, etc. But it is a great change of pace to hear that music while at the office. I always forget about it, and am continually pleasantly surprised each visit."

Marc L.
"Dr. Scales is a wonderful dentist. I have avoided the dentist due to my jaw issues. I have not been able to open my mouth fully. I finally went to see him and he was so comforting. He didn't make me feel like I was an issue and actually diagnosed an issue with my jaw bone causing the limited range. I'm looking forward to getting fully functional again. I highly recommend him especially if you're a little nervous to see the dentist."

Dana H.
"Every part of the business is clean and well kept. The staff at the front desk are extremely nice and helpful. The staff in the back is exceptional. But what stands out is the fact that Dr. Scales takes a few minutes out of his busy day to call his patients and make sure that their experience was everything it should be and that the patient has no further issues. True professionalism."

Gary Y.
