The IDA recommends following the ADA guidelines that all dentists close their offices for three weeks to patients seeking elective and non-urgent care. During that time dentists should provide only emergency dental care and medically necessary care. This will allow us to care for our most critical patients, while also alleviating the burden that emergency dental care would put on hospitals.
We are planning to issue updated guidance via email and social media as new information becomes available. We encourage you to check the
Coronavirus Resource Page for updates as they happen.
