Dr. Ferguson and Dr. Cocchia continue to see emergency patients on an as needed basis. Contact information for the dentist on call is available by calling our office phone number at 973-744-3181. Please do not hesitate to call if you have dental pain or an urgent concern.
Our office continues to be closed for all elective and routine hygiene procedures.
Appointments during the week of 3/30- 4/4 have been cancelled and patients have received a call.
We will reschedule all cancelled appointments as soon as we have a plan in place to reopen.
We continue to monitor the recommendations of the CDC and ADA along with the NJ State government and dental board. Our goal is to identify and implement all safeguards and procedures to provide for the optimal safety of our patients, staff and community.
The entire staff at Ferguson Dental genuinely loves their jobs and appreciates the opportunity to provide the best dental care to our patients. We also love staying connected with our community - our patients are like family to us and it is extremely tough to not be open!
We also fully realize that we are not alone. The COVID-19 pandemic is deeply affecting everyone in our community in multiple, devastating ways including social, economic, and most importantly individual and family health. We are committed to doing what we can to support our patients, staff, and community as we navigate the crisis together.
In support of that goal we have:
Donated our excess N-95 masks to an emergency room in desperate need.
Inventoried our remaining PPE supplies and are providing that information to the NJ state authority in charge of collecting and distributing supplies to facilities in need.
Continued to support community organizations as individuals and as a business to help as much as possible during a challenging time.
Stayed connected as a team, supporting each other with information and friendship.
Much of the news we hear as a community is negative or painful. We are trying to share positive news among our team where we can. This week we have the following good news to share:
Geri’s son Patrick was named the #1 Tight End in NJ and was also ranked #11 in the USA!
Our dental assistant Jami, a huge animal lover, has been staying positive by playing tic-tac-toe with 2 of her cats. Her cat Nitti routinely wins!
Dr. David has never taken more than a week’s vacation in his professional life and for our chatty dentist, social distancing is a challenge. He is grateful to have all three of his adult children at home, Lucy and Jack are working remotely and Tillie is finishing her freshman year at Swarthmore online.
Our new hygienist Frankie captured the beautiful picture above. Spring is coming, beauty is still around.
At this point, we don’t know when we will be able to fully reopen, but again, we are available to treat emergencies. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have dental pain or a dental problem that can’t wait.
