RCDSO guidance on managing infection risks during in-person dental care

The RCDSO’s guidance, COVID-19: Managing infection risks during in-person dental care, assists dentists in preparing their offices and understanding how to safely provide in-person care. Following the most recent direction from government and the Chief Medical Officer of Health, dentists can now provide in-person care for all deferred, non-essential, and elective services, in addition to emergency and urgent care.
