ORAL Dental Studio Provides Inclusive Dental Care for All
At ORAL Dental Studio, we are taking several steps to ensure our practice is inclusive and welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community, prioritizing the needs of LGBTQ+ patients in the Lower East Side:
- Collaborating with Local LGBTQ Advocacy Organizations: We seek guidance from local LGBTQ advocacy groups to inform and direct our efforts towards inclusivity. By partnering with these organizations, we stay informed about the latest best practices and community needs.
- Incorporating Gender-Neutral Restrooms: We have added a gender-neutral restroom to ensure comfort and inclusivity for all patients. This small but significant change reflects our commitment to making everyone feel safe and respected in our space.
- Training Staff: Our dental team is educated on LGBTQ-inclusive policies, procedures, and the use of gender-neutral language, ensuring all patients are respected regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Continuous training ensures that our staff remains aware and sensitive to the evolving needs of the LGBTQ+ community.
- Using Inclusive Language in Paperwork: All forms and documents use inclusive language. This ensures that from the moment you start your paperwork, you know that our practice is a place where your identity is acknowledged and respected.

- Educating on Sexual and Oral Health: We help patients understand the link between sexual health and oral health, emphasizing its importance for overall well-being.
