MARION — Marion Dental Health Associates will be closed for three weeks starting on March 17, in accordance with guidance provided by the Massachusetts Dental Society. 

The office will be in touch with patients that have upcoming appointments to reschedule for a later date. 

“We believe that by taking these precautions, we can make a difference in helping to preserve the limited supply of personal protective equipment critical for emergency dental care and frontline health care personnel responding to the pandemic,” wrote Dr. Erin Hoye and Dr. Joseph Whitney in a message to patients. 

The two will also monitor the situation and determine when it is appropriate to reopen.  

There will be a doctor on-call in the event of a dental emergency. For emergency dental care, call 508-748-0744.
