Presented By:
Learn about the research Dr. Purnima Kumar participated in regarding the safety of dental offices as it relates to COVID-19. Some of the rhetoric during the early stages of the pandemic suggested that going to the dentist was potentially unsafe because of dental aerosols. The research data demonstrates otherwise and based on infection rates, we know infection control and PPE in dental offices were effective in protecting dentists, dental staff and patients. Similarly, all dental offices have faced challenges during the last two years. Dr. Kyle Bogan will discuss how COVID-19 has forced dentists to reconsider their previous assumptions related to their teams and other issues. And as a result, this flexibility in dealing with their staff and other dental practice-related strategies has allowed many dental offices to survive and even thrive despite the COVID-19 challenges.
Round 1: 12:50 PM – 1:50 PM
Round 2: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
