Periodontists in New London, CT and Westerly, RI Reopen Practices with Advanced Safety Guidelines, Offer Life-Changing Care

NEW LONDON, Conn., May 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Trusted periodontists, Drs. Gregory Toback and Marianne Urbanski, fully reopen their two practice locations in New London, CT and Westerly, RI. In order to preserve the health of their community, they are welcoming those in need of emergency dentistry, routine gum disease treatment, as well as those in need of life-changing services like dental implants. Adhering to guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the World Health Organization (WHO), Shoreline Periodontics is also implementing new safety guidelines for patients' comfort and protection.

Offering some of the most cutting-edge and high-quality periodontal care in Southeastern Connecticut and all of Rhode Island, Shoreline Periodontics is seen as a leader in periodontology across the nation. With over four decades of combined experience, modern in-house technology, certifications in minimally invasive techniques, and specialized training in periodontics, Drs. Toback and Urbanski strive to offer true excellence in periodontics and dental implants.

As periodontal specialists they understand that oral health is the cornerstone of overall health. As the gateway to systemic health, if an oral concern like bleeding gums or gum disease is left untreated, it can lead to chronic inflammation, infection, and a weakened immune system. In order to preserve not only the look and function of their patients' smiles but their overall health and ability to fight off infections, they welcome patients to receive the care they need, whether emergency or elective, in a safe and sanitary environment.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Shoreline Periodontics is taking additional precautions to ensure their patients and staff's safety, as well as to minimize the spread of this novel coronavirus in their community. A few ways they are doing so is as follows:

•     Touchless registration and payment options available
•     Personal protection equipment (PPE) worn at all times by staff
•     Sanitizers available for patients in each room
•     Regular deep sanitation of treatment rooms and entire facility

Additionally, the number of people in the waiting room will be limited while encouraging patients to use their cars as their own personal waiting room. Sanitation of each room will be completed with a hospital-grade disinfectant registered on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) list proven to kill coronavirus.

With staggering reports from the CDC stating that nearly half of the United States suffer from some form of gum disease, Shoreline Periodontics was eager to reopen their doors and welcome patients in need of gum disease therapy like LANAP®. Using an FDA-cleared dental laser, they are able to offer a minimally invasive alternative to osseous surgery with minimal discomfort, faster healing, and lasting effects on patients' overall health.
