It’s such a pleasure to be able to continually care for Judy’s dental health...since 1967! One of Dr. Gale’s originals and still going strong. Mostly a credit to Judy; she’s the best!

Hello all! The dental office is open and seeing patients for routine dental care. We look forward to seeing you - there have been several changes to the office to help keep all of us safe. We are no longer using our waiting room, so we would like all patients to call us when you arrive. When you enter the office, please wear your mask; we'll take your temperature and seat you immediately. You will notice the shields surrounding the front desk. ... We are excited to announce that we have invested in UV-C light to sanitize the circulating air in our HVAC system. In addition, all operatories have air purification systems to filter the air during and after dental procedures. You will notice we look a little different as well! New masks, gowns, shields (and hairnets even!) to keep everyone in the office and our patients safe. It is a challenge for us to catch up on all the patients that had appointments cancelled due to the pandemic. We are working to reschedule you all! Thank you all for your support and patience during this challenging time!

Hello Everyone! As per Governor Cuomo's COVID-19 guidelines, the dental office remains closed until safety guidelines/metrics are accomplished and dental offices are permitted to re-open. Therefore, all appointments that have been set should be considered cancelled. When it is appropriate, we will contact you to reschedule your appointment. In the meantime, our office has been busy making changes that you will see upon your return to the office. We may look different, but ...remember, we are all the same caring people behind the masks and shields! HEPA air filtration systems in each room, UV-C light and shields will all be utilized to increase everyone's safety and confidence throughout the time spent in the office. I am confident that you will feel these improvements are seamless and non imposing during your visit with us. In order to re-open, we will continue to follow all the necessary guidelines as they are presented by the Center for Disease Control, American Dental Association, the Governor's office, New York State Dental Association and Oneida County Executive's office for best practice guidelines. Please know that we are anxious to return to work and re-open our dental home, however, every precaution for the health and safety of all patients, staff and their families, is our primary concern. I am available to help you if you are experiencing a true dental emergency! Please call the office for instructions. Stay safe! Lisa

There’s a lot to worry about! Your feet don’t reach, the left-hand crossover, scooching up the bench to hit the high notes and flipping your own pages! A well deserved clap at the end. In these uncertain times we encourage all to relax, breathe deep, go with the flow and give yourself a clap once in a while!

I am so proud of our young patients and their talents! In these strange and uncertain times, these children are sticking to their routine - practicing the piano! We encourage all of our patients to try to stick to their routines as well- remember to brush and floss daily! Thinking of you all!
