Fortunately,\nyour <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spfdentalcare.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dentist in Fanwood<\/a> is here to share four creative no-contact\ngreetings you can use during COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cLive Long and Prosper\u201d Salute <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When Spock\nfirst used the \u201cLive Long and Prosper\u201d salute in 1967, it became an instant\nclassic. In fact, it is liberally used by the franchise and its loyal following\nfive decades later! This creative greeting is perfect to use during the current\npandemic because it allows you to show off some of your personality while also\nkeeping a 6-foot distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cJim and Pam\u201d High-Five <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The hit\ntelevision series, <em>The Office<\/em>, first\ndebuted in 2005. While its unique comedy and talented cast gained attention,\nthe undeniable chemistry between Jim and Pam stole the show. Although their\nlove story had many iconic moments, their air high-fives from across the room\nquickly became a staple. Turns out, it is the perfect social distancing-friendly\ngreeting during COVID-19!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mime a Fist Bump<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that each of your hands could hold up to 5 million bacteria at any given time? While the front of your fingers historically hold fewer germs and viruses than the palms of your hands, opting for a no-contact greeting in light of the current pandemic is the best option. Therefore, consider miming a fist bump when saying hello to your dental team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smile and Wave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you\nmay think there is nothing creative about flashing your pearly whites, there\nare few things as unique as your smile! Plus, confidently displaying your\nhealthy teeth and gums is the perfect greeting at your dentist\u2019s office. After\nall, their entire team is united by the mission of helping you achieve a smile\nthat is as healthy as it is beautiful. Use it in tandem with a friendly wave,\nand you\u2019ve got yourself the perfect hello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although\ncontactless greetings can seem impersonal or awkward at first, they play a\ncrucial role in making social distancing a practical reality. However, that\ndoesn\u2019t mean you need to forgo your personality and the sincerity of your\ngreeting! At your next visit, opt for one of these four hellos to show your\nenthusiasm without compromising your safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Scotch\nPlains Fanwood Dental Care, each patient is treated like a person, not just a\nset of teeth. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spfdentalcare.com\/meet-dr-osman.html\">Dr. Osman<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spfdentalcare.com\/meet-dr-malakov.html\">Dr. Malakov<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spfdentalcare.com\/meet-dr-kalogiannis.html\">Dr. Kalogiannis<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spfdentalcare.com\/meet-dr-elmedani.html\">Dr. Elmedani<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spfdentalcare.com\/meet-dr-lin.html\">Dr. Jin<\/a> each use\ntheir unique skill set and extensive experience to provide comprehensive dental\ncare to people of all ages.
