Improving the lives of our patients: one patient at a time!
January is the beginning to a healthy New Year!
This month, we will celebrate a new beginning to the year. The New Year brings hope for the future and allows us to reset our personal lives. Yes, we are still in the grips of the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, we have helped each other through this pandemic. We would like to start the year by thanking our wonderful family of patients. We are grateful for you. We thank you for your trust and confidence in us taking care of your dental health.
January is the perfect time to resolve to improving our dental health. To maintain our healthy smiles, we need to brush two minutes, two times a day, floss once a day, rinse daily with an anti-cavity or anti-plaque mouth rinse, and remember to visit us twice a year to thoroughly evaluate your mouth for oral cancer and any signs of disease. Need an appointment to sparkle up your smile before all the selfies? Give us a call!
Dental care is healthcare!
For those of you with dental benefits, we are starting a new year of potential funds dedicated to the care of your teeth. January is the perfect month to start up your dental care! Are you still in need of a preventive visit? Are you still holding off with a twinge or two from earlier in the year? Well, now is the time! Give us a call! Dental care is healthcare! Remember: be true to your teeth or they will be false to you!
Virtual visits
We are available for virtual visits, for new patients seeking information about our practice or their dental needs, and for our current patients who have questions about treatment. Please let us know if you would like to have a virtual consultation via a telemedicine platform. We look forward to meeting you soon!
Hypochlorous Fogging is here!
We are thrilled to announce that we have added another layer of safety protection to our practice: a hypochlorous acid fogger.
Hypochlorous acid has been used as a disinfectant in hospitals for years. In addition, it is used to sanitize foods such as fruits and vegetables (the spray used on the veggies in the grocery store is not water--it is hypochlorous acid), in eye care products, and in wound care,
We not only fog the operatory after we complete any procedure, prior to using additional disinfectant products, but we fog ourselves. Please feel free to ask about our infection control protocol. 😷
What to expect when you visit our office!
According to the CDC, State of Illinois, and the Village of Lincolnwood, face coverings are required when entering any business. We will ask you to wear your mask upon entry to the office.
Please call the office at 847 677 1101 when you arrive for your appointment. We will confirm your arrival, check you in, and let you know when to come up to the office. Please wait for us to let you know the office is ready for you. We are performing enhanced cleaning procedures in the entire office, and need a few extra minutes to prepare for your arrival. We do not want you waiting in the hall.

COVID-19 Update---Yes, there still is a pandemic out there!
As a medical facility, masks are still required when you enter the practice and until treatment is started. We are still socially distancing in the practice and would like to remind all of our patients that your health and safety are our priority.
It is more important now than ever to follow the guidelines set forth by public health care professionals. It is highly important to get vaccinated. Our way out of this pandemic is to have everyone vaccinated, especially with all the new variants emerging.
Please remember to:
--Clean your hands often. Wash hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Use sanitizer when washing is not accessible.
--Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. After a year of wearing masks, we know this isn't easy, but it is important.
--Practice social distancing (6 feet of distance between people). Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
--Maintain six feet physical distance in public spaces.
--Stay home if you are sick and do not return to work until at least 24 hours after you no longer have a fever without fever-reducing medications.
--Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or in the crook of your arm, and throw away used tissue.
--Use disinfectant wipes or sprays to clean frequently touched surfaces at home and work. The EPA has a new app that will list disinfectents that are effective on the human coronavirus.
Please feel free to contact us either through our website, via email (drsheri@donigerdental.com) via our Facebook page messenger, or simply leave a voice message at (847) 677-1101. If you need us, we will be available to you for teleconferencing, via What's App, Facebook Messenger, Skype and Zoom,
Thank you for your understanding and patience during this unprecedented time.
We are safe! We are here for you!
Infection Control has always been our priority!
We have always followed the utmost in infection control for the safety of both you, our patients, and ourselves. We are continually upgrading our infection control procedures to ensure everyone's safety.
Please watch our Facebook page for updates and information about our new infection control systems!
Take care of you!
Our most important job right now is to stay healthy. We are not only protecting ourselves but the people around us. With social distancing in full effect, it is more important than ever to practice good oral hygiene and prevent cavities. Remind your family about brushing for two minutes two times a day and flossing once every day. Using an antibacterial mouthwash is also a good precaution.
We have received questions about disinfecting your toothbrush.
Want to disinfect your toothbrush? You can soak it in an antibacterial mouthwash for 30 seconds. For a homemade alternative, mix 2 teaspoons of baking soda in a cup of water.. Don't forget to change your toothbrush every three months, especially during these times of staying at home.
Take a tour of our office!
We have created a virtual tour of the office for those who are interested in joining our practice but COVID may be keeping you away. It is always nice to see where you are going! Check it out on Google Earth!
So honored.........
Our practice has been honored again (third year in a row!) as one of the Top Dentists in the Chicagoland area for 2021!
Dr. Sheri was honored as the Lincolnwood Madeline Grant Volunteer of the Year for 2020. She has over thirty years of volunteering for the Village and beyond.
Our practice was spotlighted in the Village of Lincolnwood Business Connections Newsletter for the 2020 March/April issue (yes, at the beginning of the pandemic, but we are still excited to be there!)
No dental benefit? No problem!!!
We have an affordable in-office yearly dental membership plan
Professional quality dental care is a necessity for everyone, although being able to achieve it has not always been within reach, especially for those without dental benefit. Our Dental Priority Platinum solves that problem! We have a variety of plans, starting with two preventive visits a year, inclucing oral examinations, four bitewing radiographs, or full mouth radiograph as necessary, and two fluoride varnish treatments, all at a 25% savings to you and your family. Major and cosmetic dental treatments are 18% off, with no deductible or annual maximum. Each family member has different needs, so we offer different plans. We are unable to combine these plans if you have a current dental benefit..
