We are pleased to report that our office has reopened for dental treatment.

While many things have changed, one thing has remained which is our commitment to your safety and health.

Infection control has always been a top priority during your visits to our office and we want you to know that we are following all current recommendations of the Centers of Disease Control (CDC), American Dental Association (ADA), Pennsylvania Dental Association (PDA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

We have made some changes for your protection and for the protection of our team.  Here are some of the changes you will see at your next appointment:

• Our office will call you prior to your next visit to update your medical history which will include a coronavirus screening.  These screening questions will again be reviewed at your office visit.
• We are requiring patients wear masks in the office except during treatment.
• The reception area will be closed and you will be led directly to your treatment room
• We are asking patients to leave all personal items in their cars and that only patients enter the office.  Please call the office when you arrive and we will then call you when we are ready to have you enter.
• Appointment times will be managed to allow distancing between patients which may reduce your scheduling options.

Additional new procedures and protocols are on the following pages as well as on our website. 

We look forward to seeing you for your next treatment and we are happy to answer any questions you have about your visit. 

Thank you for being our patient.  We value your faith in us and we will continue to do what we feel is in your best interest.

Our office believes that dentistry has an obligation to the greater community to do our part to curtail the spread of the coronavirus. At all times the health and safety of our patients and our community is our top priority.

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, and following the guidance of The American Dental Association, The Pennsylvania Dental Association and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, our office has temporarily closed in an effort to "flatten the curve" of the progression of this contagion.

As a result, all patients will be notified in a delay of all elective procedures until the near future. While we realize this may cause some temporary inconvenience to our patients, we want to do our part to mitigate the spread of disease and continue to see our patients and their loved ones remain healthy and safe. We hope to be back offering our full level of services as soon as feasible and we will continue to send you, our patients, periodic updates as this situation evolves.

Please be well, be safe, and implement appropriate "social distancing."

If you have an appointment scheduled in the next few weeks, you will be hearing from one of our team members shortly. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please give our office a call at 814-949-2622 and leave us a message, or send us an email at michaelco166@gmail

If you are having a dental emergency please page Dr. Cohen at 814-949-7120, or call your general dentist.
