Local dental offices have been instructed by the American Dental Association, to close except for extreme emergency cases due to the possibility of contracting the coronavirus.

The A-D-A on their web site, told their member dental offices around the country, to have patients postpone elective procedures to, quoting the statement on their web site, "mitigate the spread of COVID-19." End of quote.

The A-D-A added that the guidance they're giving their members may change as the pandemic progresses.

Best bet is to call your dentist in the event you have a previously scheduled appointment, to see whether they are open.
