Nebraska Pediatric Dentist Shares Experiences of Reopening Practice After Pandemic Spurred Closure

Pediatric dentist Dr. Jessica Meeske and her family were on their way to a basketball tournament when she found out about her state’s stay-at-home order that would force her to close her thriving practice on March 17.

“My daughter was a college senior at Hastings College and they were having the season of their life,” Dr. Meeske said. “Within a few hours from playing their first game, the whole event was canceled. It was a tough way to end the season as a No. 1 seed in their bracket.”

Dentists from across the nation have suffered and endured and tried to live and work in a new normal. Dr. Meeske is someone who has been able to open successfully — she was back in business the morning of May 4.
