On Tuesday, the Alabama Dental Association sent general dentists new protocol guidelines to follow in response to the growing concern about the coronavirus. Within these new guidelines the Alabama Department of Public Health recommends all dental practices to cease any non-urgent dentistry work until the situation can be reassessed April 9.
Dentists’ biggest concern is their patients believing they have been abandoned by stopping routine dental work which is hardly the case, according to local dentist Dr. George Hardy.
