I’m sure that I speak for all of us when I say that as we entered the year 2020 we didn’t quite expect the challenges that have been come with this year and they don’t seem likely to let up soon.
There is no denying that the pandemic we find ourselves living though is an utter disaster and if you have lost a loved one or suffered ill health through sheer fear or delay in medical treatment for a completely unrelated health reason then you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Being a glass half fully type there have been some positives come out of this, the family time that we wouldn’t have had, the slower paced life we found ourselves living through, the digital shift that in most cases appears to work more efficiently are to name but a few.
I also think the period of lockdown has helped us all to prioritise what is important in life and to realise how fragile life is, that we may not be able to afford to wait for what we want in life.
We planned to get a new car in May but that was put on hold due to lockdown and by the sheer volume of new patient enquiries it would appear that many put cosmetic dentistry such as Implants, tooth whitening and teeth straightening on hold. It may be a case that people had money saved by for holidays which due to the pandemic they have decided not to go ahead with and instead they are investing that spare cash on themselves because we won’t be able to hide behind our masks forever – or at least I hope not as I presently sit here at my desk typing away in mine. At the end of the day I find myself getting into the outside air and ripping my mask off like I have just completed a long surgery in Grey’s Anatomy!
