Provide dental treatment only after you have assessed the patient and considered both the risk to the patient of deferring care and the risk to dental health care personnel (DHCP) and patients of health care-associated SARS-CoV-2 transmission. If PPE and supplies are limited, prioritize dental care for the highest-need, most vulnerable patients first — those at most risk if care is delayed. DHCP should apply the guidance found in the Framework for Healthcare Systems Providing Non-COVID-19 Clinical Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic to determine how and when to resume nonemergency dental care. DHCP should stay informed and regularly consult with the state or local health department for region-specific information and recommendations. Monitor trends in local case counts and deaths, especially for populations at higher risk for severe illness. 收起
