Absolutely. Dental professionals and their support staff have done a stellar job at keeping their patients and staff safe and healthy moving thru this pandemic and I am confident will continue to perform well as we progress forward. According to the ADA as of October 2020 the Covid -19 rate among dentists was less than 1%. As of March 1 ,2021 only 6.8% of hygienists had contracted the disease according to the ADA in spite of being considered a very high risk healthcare worker. Dental professionals are doing all they can to keep their staff and patients like you safe and healthy and it shows.
