Dentistry is essential and has and continues to use the highest level of disinfection and sterilization techniques. American Dental Association Responds to World Health Organization Recommendation: Dentistry is Essential Health Care August 12, 2020... Contact Information: [email protected] CHICAGO, August 12, 2020 The American Dental Association (ADA) respectfully yet strongly disagrees with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation to delay routine dental care in certain situations due to COVID-19. Oral health is integral to overall health. Dentistry is essential health care, states ADA President Chad P. Gehani, D.D.S. Dentistry is essential health care because of its role in evaluating, diagnosing, preventing or treating oral diseases, which can affect systemic health. Dr. Gehani added that in March, when COVID-19 cases began to rise in the U.S., the ADA called for dentists to postpone all but urgent and emergency care in order to understand the disease, consider its effect on dental patients, dental professionals and the greater community. Both the ADA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) then issued interim guidance for dental professionals related to COVID-19. The ADA’s guidance calls for the highest level of PPE availablemasks, goggles and face shields. The ADA’s interim guidance also calls for the use of rubber dams and high velocity suction whenever possible and hand scaling when cleaning teeth rather than using ultrasonic scaling to minimize aerosols. Dr. Gehani concludes, Millions of patients have safely visited their dentists in the past few months for the full range of dental services. With appropriate PPE, dental care should continue to be delivered during global pandemics or other disaster situations.
