Naples, FL, September 4, 2020: Owner and CEO of Smilecreator of Naples, Dr. Nilo Hernandez, Jr., DDS, has posted a new article on his website entitled, “Isolation Is Torturous And Nothing To Smile About, in which Dr. Hernandez talks about his passion to help patients joyfully and confidently re-engage with life.

Dr. Hernandez writes, “Throughout the course of this COVID-19 pandemic, with mandated shelter-in-place orders during which my dental practice was shut down, I’ve been thinking about the effect isolation has on us humans.” He continues, adding, “I see the effects of self-isolation in my practice all too frequently. It made me think about how isolation is often used as a form of torture. In war and in prison, inmates are put into isolation in order to make them comply, behave or give up some bit of information.”

“After so many months of social distancing and staying away from groups of people,” Dr. Hernandez acknowledges, “I too have begun to feel the unpleasant effects. Many people I know are feeling lethargic and depressed.” He adds, “We humans need interaction. We need hugs and handshakes. We need to move around and express ourselves joyfully and freely.”

According to Dr. Hernandez, “In my practice I have come to recognize the effects of isolation on patients who have self-isolated, sometimes for years, due to the condition of their teeth.” He states, “For anyone with good teeth, this may be difficult to comprehend. However, there are many people who suffer as a result of having teeth that for whatever reason are not simply less than ideal but may have been the source of teasing or bullying, lost as a result of illness or accidents. There are many reasons.” “How one got the teeth in the condition that would cause them to self-isolate is not the issue,” he states, adding, “Returning them to a state of joyful living and self-confidence is my focus.”
