Patients of Heath Family Dentistry,
We hope this letter 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 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 office follows control recommendations made by the ADA, CDC and 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 the agencies’ recommendations.
You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made some changes to help protect our patients and staff.
• Our office will communicate with you beforehand, to ask some screening questions. You’ll again, be asked the questions when entering the office.
• We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office.
• You may notice that our reception area no longer offers magazines, children’s toys, and so forth, as those items are hard to disinfect.
• Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you are 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 at any one time.
We look forward to seeing all of you again and are heat to answer any questions or concerns you may have about the steps we’re taking to keep you and your family safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at 785-234-5410.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this pandemic. We value your trust and loyalty as we welcome back our patients, friends and neighbors.
Sincerely,
Dr. Paul Heath DDS

This is my plea. I am making it public. I am a dental hygienist. Most people think "oh, she cleans teeth." Have you ever wondered why you are suppose to get your teeth cleaned twice a year? Did you know it is to prevent disease? To prevent more than one disease? Did you know dental hygienist's are put through a very rigorous education, have college degrees, take state board exams, and are licensed to practice just like dentists, nurses, and doctors?
I see periodontal disease walk into my office DAILY. This is a severe case that came into my office today. Periodontal disease is a chronic, slow progressing, silent disease - just like CANCER. Periodontal disease doesn't hurt in the early and mid-stages of disease - just like CANCER. Periodontal disease causes destruction - just like CANCER. Periodontal disease can and will alter your life - just like CANCER. This patient is in pain, has altered speech, unable to eat anything that requires mastication, has a low self esteem, has restricted their social life activities all due to periodontal disease, and cannot get a knee replacement until this disease is under control and the mobile teeth are removed. YES your oral health is connected to your systemic health!
My plea: PLEASE take control of your health! Go see your hygienist and listen to what she says!!! If she tells you that you need to come in more than twice a year for cleanings, please don't rebuttal back with, "My insurance doesn't cover that." If she asks you to floss daily, please floss DAILY!!! If she suggests an electric toothbrush, GO TO THE STORE! If she says you need a "deep cleaning," don't look at her like she is pitching a sale! We don't tell you this just to hear ourselves talk. We are trying to prevent periodontal disease! That's why your insurance gives you two "free" preventive cleanings per year....because they don't want to have to pay for your hygienist to perform periodontal disease treatment and for the dentist to extract teeth.
Please...I beg you. We do not and will not judge you. A lot of us have gone to third world countries for mission work. I promise! We have seen worse. Take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Pick up the phone and call your dental office...we'll handle the rest.
Signed:
Deeply, sincerely, and passionately,
A concerned Dental Hygienist.
