Dentists We Are Here to Help

Dentists: We Are Here to Help! 

I just wanted to take the time to write a personal note to all Dental practice owners. 

Even in the unlikely event we reduce  the spreading of COVID-19, adversely it will mean a worse and more deeply structural recession. China finds itself having quelled the spread but with the virus still present, a return to pre-virus normality in terms of socialising is impossible. That said, when faced with losing loved ones, a recession is obviously a far preferable choice.

On the positive side, vaccines are already being sped through clinical trials however, this will take some time. The truth is we are far more likely to have a treatment before we have a vaccine.  US based firm, Gilead services is having success with its clinical trials of a drug called Remdisivir. Remdisivir is a potent anti-viral developed to treat Ebola and it also has already proved effective with two other corona viruses (MERS and SARS).

Dental practice owners are a resilient bunch and I am consistently impressed by the compassion and support shown within our community. Let us not catastrophise, but instead focus on positively supporting each other. If I can help in any way then please just let me know.

These are challenging times that no-one could have predicted. It is inevitable that we will all feel the impact of this and therefore we must look out for each other, our families and our staff.

If you are of mature years then it is absolutely essential that  you adopt social distancing and avoid groups at all costs.

If you require assistance please just reply back to me.

Best Wishes,
