Test for Covid day before ;do it only for emergency reasons
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.
You can, but make sure that you are vaccinated first for Covid
Yes
