Dentist in Fresno, CA – Michael Long D.D.S

Coronavirus Update:

To our valued patients,

As of Monday March 16^th we have been advised by the California Dental Association to suspend all dental care with the exception of emergency cases that present as life threatening for the next 14 days.

The purpose of this recommendation , consistent with the statewide shelter-in-place order, is to minimize the risks of virus exposure to patients and the dental team and to preserve critical health care workers’ personal protective equipment (PPE), which are currently in extreme short supply . The required N95 face masks are not available to us at this time. If this situation changes, we will adapt the recommendations accordingly. We always operate with the highest levels of infection control, sanitation, and sterilization with the goal of complete patient safety.

We plan to return to the office on Tuesday, March 31 unless otherwise directed by the CDA.  If you have a true dental emergency, contact us at (559) 432-4850.

This public health situation is changing every day and we will constantly monitor the most current recommendations of the CDC and other agencies and keep you informed. We wish you all good health and will see you soon.

Helpful guidance to navigate this pandemic:
