Covid 19 is here. We have restructured our patient flow to minimize contact between families coming and going within our office. Sanitization (sterilization) is a part of any medical practices daily routine. To this end, new products have been implemented to eliminate the Covid 19 virus from any surface you or my staff may come in contact with.

Upon entering the office youll have your temperature taken, and provided hand sanitizer (to counter all the surfaces you touched before entering the office). When seated in the dental chair youll be asked to rinse your mouth with a dilute hydrogen peroxide solution (its minty flavored). This will kill the bugs that live in your mouth and thereby minimize contaminated spray into my office environment. Youll notice the heppa filter air circulator nearby.

Dr Howard has been working out forever. He has competed in marathons, half marathons and triathalons. Today, his training partner is his wife, Nancy. Together they run, bike, weight lift, kayak, horseback ride and ski. Its a great way to spend time together, and be outdoors.

Diet is a daily concern for Dr. Howard. With all the exercise, there is a need to have adequate, healthy caloric intake. Foods high in refined sugar, and carbs, are kept to a minimum. Protein intake occurs twice daily. He believes that proper diet management is important for an ongoing healthy life.

Besides his dental practice, which has been ongoing since 1978, Dr. Howard likes to read (preferring non-fiction), does three crossword puzzles daily, and spend as much time as he can tending his garden (predominantly cactus and succulents).
