You need to stay on top of what’s going on in Florida so that you will be prepared. There are many resources that are available to all residents of your state. These will show you things that you can do for both your everyday health as well as your oral health.
It’s important to go to sites that you know will post trustworthy advice and also post timely updates about what is available to you during everyday life.
The Florida Dental Board – This should be high on your list of sites to go to learn about COVID-19. While it is geared toward dentists, there’s information that patients can use.
Florida Dental Association – Here is another site that should be high on your bookmark list. It can tell you specific Coronavirus regulations and you can learn about dentistry, too.
Florida Health Department – When it comes to getting the most information about COVID-19. It has sanitary practices along with advice on how to best protect yourself from this virus.
Florida COVID-19 Site – If you’re still curious about Coronavirus, this is a one-stop place for you to do research. It tells you how to prepare and how to “Flatten the Curve.” Regularly check this site.
American Dental Association – The ADA does far more than just give a seal of approval for toothpastes, toothbrushes, mouthwashes, and other dental items. It’s the main regulatory arm for American Dentists and this site can help both dentists and patients alike.
Center for Disease Control – When it comes to finding information about Coronavirus and other diseases, this should be high on your bookmark list.
Being proactive is the key here. Do all your research… and then continue a good oral hygiene routine. Yes, it can be hard to tell what day it actually is sometimes when you’ve been inside so much. Your teeth and gums don’t care that there is a pandemic going on outside – they still need maintenance and a failure to do so can lead to a dental emergency. While that may get you into the dentist’s office, it will be more expensive than just having your teeth cleaned.
While it may seem easy to start slacking – after all, who are you trying to impress during a quarantine? Especially if you live alone. Still, you need to boost that self-esteem. Talk to other family members. Support each other in their quest to keep healthy. This can shine a bright light on an otherwise dark situation.
Utilize both the above resources as well as following the dental routine. It can help you know that things will get better.
The Dental Emergency Room staff has been monitoring the COVID-19 situation daily and will be opening when everything is safe. Please contact them if you have any questions.
