Dear Wayne Dental Care Family,

We are excited to announce that we are once again able to provide comfortable dental care for you, our wonderful patients. Wayne Dental Care has reopened on June 8, 2020!

We hope this email finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing at Wayne Dental Care has remained the same: our constant commitment to your safety.

As you have surely seen during your visits to our office, infection control has always been a top priority for our practice. Our strict processes have consistently made the care you receive at Wayne Dental Care both safe and comfortable.

Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We continue to closely monitor the recommendations of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued.

When it is time for your next appointment, you may see some changes along with our already strict infection control protocols.

Some of these updates include:

  • Our office will communicate with you ahead of your appointment to ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.
  • When entering the office, we will ask you to use hand sanitizer which we will supply. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.
  • You may see that our reception area will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and other items which cannot be properly disinfected. You are encouraged to bring your own iPad, reading materials, etc.
  • Should you choose, you may wait in your car and be texted when we are ready to bring you directly to the treatment area.
  • Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you’re offered slightly limited options for scheduling your appointment.
  • We will do our best to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the office at any one time.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at 610-293-1227 or visit our website at www.waynedentalcare.com

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends in the safest way possible.

Sincerely,
Dr Handel, Dr Brenner and the Team at Wayne Dental Care

Keep Your Healthy Smile This Halloween

October 1, 2019
Family dentist in 19087

Halloween night is a big deal to a lot of families. Kids and some parents will spend weeks if not months planning the perfect costume, whether it’s for trick-or-treating or a party.

Either way, you are likely to find yourself facing piles or large bowls filled with candy around this holiday. We realize the temptation of easy sweets is hard to resist, but with some preparation, you can keep your healthy smile intact and cavity-free.

Our team at Wayne Dental Care is sharing a few tips to help you navigate the candy haul that’s coming. This includes practicing preventive care, such as getting professional dental cleanings and exams at our office in Wayne, PA. Call 610-227-6143 to make your next appointment with us, and keep reading to learn a few tips that could help you this Halloween.

Set Limits

One of the best things you can do before your kids come home with bags full of candy is to talk about setting limits. By having a discussion about how much candy you will keep and how much candy is acceptable in one day, you can help yourself and your kids avoid eating too much.

You know that your kids will bring home more candy than they and you should eat. Knowing this, make plans to give away the extra candy. Many organizations accept candy as a donation. One example of this is Operation Gratitude, which sends care packages to military members who are stationed overseas.

Then, when you have a “reasonable” amount of candy in your home, you can discuss how much candy can be eaten in a day or in one sitting, so you and your kids can reduce the risk of overindulging.

Have Some Water

You already know that candy has high amounts of sugar. For the bacteria that cause cavities and tooth decay, that sugar provides fuel. When that sugar remains on your teeth or stuck between teeth, bacteria have more time to use it.

One of the simplest ways to rinse the candy from your smile is to eat candy after a meal (when you are already producing saliva). Drinking a glass of water while you eat candy also aids in rinsing away candy particles.

The kind of candy you eat can make a difference as well. Sticky candies are more likely to cling to your teeth. Caramels and gummies are both types of candies that can be more difficult to remove. On the other hand, chocolates can be easier to clean off your smile. This is just something to keep in mind when choosing your after-dinner snack.

Protect Your Teeth

Of course, keeping up a consistent oral care routine makes a big difference as well. You need to continue brushing your teeth twice per day. Flossing daily is equally important since that is how you clean the spaces between your teeth.

And you should continue to make regular visits to Wayne Dental Care a part of your oral hygiene routine. Your healthy smile is our business.

Just call 610-227-6143 or contact us online to plan your next visit with us.
