Dear Patient(s):

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. We are so very excited to announce that we are once again able to provide dental services for you, our valuable patients. Highland Advanced Dental Care will reopen on June 1st. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.

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 follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agency’s recommendations.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

  • Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.
  • We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. 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 waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
  • Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean
  • that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
  • We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area 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.

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

As always, if you have any questions, please call our office at 248-329-3552.

Sincerely,

Dr. James E. LoCascio, DDS FICOI D-ABDSM
Highland Advanced Dental Care

Common Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety

Almost everyone feels uneasy at the dentist at least some of the time. For some people, their anxiety is bad enough that it keeps them away from the dentist. A Cleveland Clinic study found that nine to 15 percent of Americans avoid going to the dentist due to anxiety. Yet skipping regular exams and cleanings can result in problems that may require the kind of extensive treatment that will make you even more anxious.

The longer you wait to address a dental problem, the more complicated your treatment will be – which usually increases your anxiety. For example, filling a cavity can be done quickly and easily. But if an untreated cavity leads to infection, you’ll need to have a root canal to save the tooth or get the tooth extracted to prevent infection from spreading.

The best way to relieve dental anxiety is to discuss what makes you uneasy. For example, if you don’t like needles, you’ll be glad to learn that you won’t feel a stick or stinging sensation with our DentalVibe system. We can also establish a signal, such as a raised hand, you can use to let us know you’d like to pause for a moment. In addition, you can receive safe and fast-acting laughing gas.
