The American Dental Association (ADA) president has appointed a task force for dental practice recovery after COVID-19 pandemic. The group includes practising dentists with support from ADA experts. He said: “While we guide dentistry through these trying times, the American Dental Association also has its eye on what will come next."
The ADA President, Dr Chad P. Gehani, has assembled an advisory task force to oversee the ADA’s development of tools for dentists as they bounce back from the effects of practice restrictions and closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said: "The COVID-19 crisis has had a challenging impact on our dental community. Yet, the strength of our profession has never been more evident — for now, we may be distant, but we are not disconnected. While we guide dentistry through these trying times, the American Dental Association also has its eye on what will come next."
The ADA’s Advisory Task Force on Dental Practice Recovery, which began meeting in April, has the overall goal of helping dentists get back to serving their communities while protecting patients, office staff and themselves. "Our community is in it together as we navigate these trying times," Dr. Gehani said. "And as dental practices reopen their doors and our colleagues get back on their feet, we will be in it together still."
