A Letter To Our Patients During COVID-19

Dear Friends, Families, and Valued Patients,

As part of your health care team, we would like to take the time to let you know that we value your health with the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19. Executive order passed by Gov. Ralph Northam mandates we suspend dental treatment except for emergency and urgent patients until, Friday, April 24, 2020.

If you have an upcoming appointment, we will be in contact with you soon to reschedule and we will notify you when we are fully prepared to resume safe treatment for all of our patients.

Our phone lines will remain open for your questions and concerns. If you have a dental emergency during this pandemic, please call our office at (757) 464-0271 and we will respond within one business day.

At Dr. James Rutledge, we have always followed standard universal precautions issued by the CDC and ADA to help protect every one of our patients and team members from the many infectious diseases that we are potentially exposed to on a daily basis. When we are able to reopen our door, we will continue to enact an even higher standard of infection-control until this health risk is fully resolved.

We care about each of you and hope that you and your family will remain in the bloom of good health during this difficult time.

Thank you for your trust and cooperation during this time.

Have a healthy day,

Dr. Jim Rutledge and team

Is Undiagnosed TMD Causing You Neck And Shoulder Pain?

September 9, 2020

Do you have frequent headaches or migraines, earaches or tinnitus, tender jaw muscles, or a dull aching facial pain? Do you often have neck and shoulder pain? Does your jaw lock or stray to one side when you open your mouth? These aches and pains may be related to the jaw joint, called the temporomandibular joint or “TMJ,” and the muscles that work to move the joint. These painful conditions are often called “TMD” for temporomandibular disorders.
