New Guidance from the CDC for Dental Settings
Interim Infection Prevention and Control Guidance for Dental Settings During the COVID-19 Response
Key Concepts
- Dental settings have unique characteristics that warrant additional infection control considerations.
- Postpone elective procedures, surgeries, and non-urgent dental visits, and contact patients prior to emergency procedures. Stay at home if sick and know steps to take if a patient with COVID-19 symptoms enters your facility.
