It can be hard to stay up to date on the latest COVID-19 news. That’s why the ADA created a Coronavirus Resource Center with the newest practice management, safety and clinical guidance. Here are the latest resources:
1. ADA Interim Guidance for Minimizing Risk of COVID-19 Transmission – key recommendations on how to proceed before, during and after treating dental emergencies
2. ADA Interim Guidance Flowcharts for Minimizing Risk of COVID-19 Transmission – three corresponding flowcharts detailing the recommended steps to be taken when treating patients with dental emergencies:
- Flowchart 1: Triaging Patients for Emergency and Urgent Dental Care
- Flowchart 2: Screening to Identify COVID-19 Infection in Emergency and Urgent Dental Patients
- Flowchart 3: Minimizing Risk of COVID-19 Transmission for Emergency and Urgent Dental Patients and Healthcare Personnel
3. Summary of ADA COVID-19 Interim Guidance – overview of the emerging science, how to minimize risks during emergency treatment and tools to help you
Next week, the ADA will answer your questions about the interim guidance in a Q&A. Please submit questions to ebd@ada.org by 12 p.m. CT on Monday, April 6.
We are continually updating our COVID-19 resources based on availability of new evidence and information. Look for updates and more information at ADA.org/VirusResources.
