Those with hurting teeth in St. Lawrence County may soon get some relief.
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Sunday that New York dentists can reopen statewide today, June 1.
Dentists' offices will be subject to state guidance on best practices for safety and social distancing due to COVID-19.
The governor also said new cases, hospitalizations, intubations and deaths are all declining as of May 30.
"The reduction in New York's new COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, intubations and other metrics represent tremendous progress from where we were," Cuomo said. "We have gone through hell and back -- we are on the other side and it's a lesson for all of us, and we need to stay vigilant as we reopen different parts of the state so that we don't backslide. I am also authorizing dentists to resume their practices statewide starting tomorrow (June 1) as long as they follow health and safety guidelines that the state is laying out and that we have been discussing with them."
