Many doctors and dentists closed their offices during the coronavirus lockdown.

Now, as they begin to reopen, it's becoming clear that visiting the doctor's office will come with a whole new set of rules.

As things slowly start to creep toward normality places like dentists offices are figuring out what a new normal is going to look like.

Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, dentist offices have had a tough choice to make;

whether to remain open for emergencies or close completely, to ensure their patients, staff, and families were safe.

Now, dentists around South Florida are beginning to plan for a reopening, with many of them getting back to most of their normal services this week.

But things may look a little different than what you’re used to as many offices will now include a detailed screening protocol that will encourage sick or potentially sick patients to stay home.
