Message from the President continued

wait in their car before they are called in for their appointments. Providing hand sanitizer
stations in the office, taking patient’s temperature, and COVID-19 related health
questionnaire are the new norm.

In spite of all the planning and use of protective measures, the spread of the virus
continues. Its spread depends on many factors including the enforcement of social
distancing, a commonsense approach of infection control by the public and the early
availability of a vaccine.

With all the changes in day to day life due to COVID-19, we should never forget to take
care of ourselves so we can take care of our patients. Self-care includes exercising,
eating healthy, getting good sleep and staying positive. The stronger we keep our immune
system, the greater chance we have for not being affected by COVID-19 or any other
infection.

For a better future of Dentistry,

Binod.K.Verma

President
Nassau County Dental Society.
