The health and safety of our staff and patients, as well as, the health and safety of our community continues to be the utmost importance for us. We have decided to close our office next week (March 16th - March 20th) to comply with the local, state, and federal recommendations to help combat the spread of the CoVid-19 virus. Modern Dental has always had a stringent infection control policy, and we have recently employed stricter measures of infection control, especially in our common areas where our patients and staff tend to gather, to help minimize the spread of this virus. We are currently attempting to reschedule our patients and are truly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We are still available for dental emergencies, and will continue to respond to all urgent dental needs. If you feel like you need to talk to any one of our dental staff members, including the dentists, please call our emergency line at: 217-381-3490. Thank you for your understanding during this time, and we wish good health to all

Well we have adopted an orphan from our goose family. This little guy hatched after his family left the nest. He has adapted well to farm life at the Morleys. We almost had him adopted out to a goose family on our pond but after a couple hours the mom rejected him. Our youngest daughter has nursed him from a dehydrated weak, not able to walk or lift his head newborn to a strong loud and busy gosling! Luckily we have 2 ponds he can grow up on and ducks and chickens to teach him how to be a bird. Lol Happy Mother's day!

Our office is an official drop off location for TOYS for TOTS this year! With only 43 days until Christmas, the mission is to help bring hope and joy this Christmas to those less fortunate.

Here is what we are doing to keep you safe: • Screening. Everyone goes through COVID-19 symptom screening and has their temperature taken before they are seen for treatment • Masking. Anyone entering our office is required to wear a mask. Please be sure to bring a mask with you to your appointment; you will be asked to wear one any time you’re not in a dental chair. • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Our teams are utilizing additional PPE, lab coats, washed by an osha approved facility, face shields/protective eyewear, higher-level masks, gloves, and specialized products and equipment to control aerosols. • Aerosol-decrease devices. We have implemented the use of special devices that reduce the particles produced during hygiene cleanings and other procedures. • Social distancing. Our waiting room has been rearranged and our office has modified the check-in process to minimize contact. • Cleaning. In addition to standard infection control protocols, we have enhanced our cleaning practices, especially in our waiting room, bathroom, and high-touch surfaces like pens and iPads. • Removal of nonessential items. We have removed nonessential items from our waiting room and operatories to mitigate surfaces for germ accumulation. • Reduced traffic. Appointment times are staggered to reduce traffic. We are requesting that adult patients arrive unaccompanied and minors are accompanied by only one guardian.

Did you know that the mouth is the gateway to the body? In fact, many health issues can first be detected by a dentist, which is why regular visits to the dentist are so important. Unfortunately, during COVID-19, many people are worried about visiting a dental clinic and wonder if it is safe. At Modern Dental, know that we are taking every precaution to keep you and your family safe inside our office. American Dental Association Study Regarding COVID-19 The American Dental Association (ADA) published a study that confirms dental clinics are safe to visit. In their study, they found a very low number of dentists had contracted the virus, proving that safety measures have been successful. Fewer than 1% of dentists nationwide were estimated to be COVID-19 positive as of June, according to an American Dental Association Science & Research Institute and Health Policy Institute study. "This is very good news for dentists and patients," said Dr. Marcelo Araujo, Ph.D., CEO of the ADASRI, chief science officer of the ADA and senior author of the report. "This means that what dentists are doing — heightened infection control and increased attention to patient and dental team safety — is working." We echo the ADA’s sentiments that dentistry is essential health care and our office is safe to visit during this time. In fact, at Modern Dental our sole purpose is to ensure patient and team safety
