Several of her patients
have left town
during the viral outbreak,
but she said that
she’s starting to make
up the loss of patients
with newcomers too.
For Dr. Lichter, while
patients are returning,
his offi ce remains
short-staffed.
The southern Brooklyn
dental professional
remains confi dent that
his business will bounce
back from the pandemic
closures, with their
increased health and
safety guidance.
“I feel very optimistic
because we’re doing
what we normally do,
now we’re doing it even
better,” he said. “Everyone
needs to go to the
dentist at some point.”
Some might be hesitant
to get their teeth
treated, even as infection
rates for the virus
have slowed down signifi
cantly in the city.
Dr. Horowitz says it’s
all about doing your
research to make sure
your dentist is adhering
to state guidelines.
“I defi nitely understand
the fear,” she
said. “But if you’re going
somewhere that’s
doing all the protocols
and doesn’t have a lot of
people in the offi ces at
the same time, I think
it’s very safe.”
Brooklyn dentists are adapting to the COVID-19 era.
