WAUGH CHAPEL DENTAL COVID 19 UPDATE
Dear Dental Family,
Please note a few changes that are super important to make this transition to the “new normal” easier, simpler and safer. AS of March 28th 2022, The Maryland State Board of Dental examiners still have mandated Dental practices to maintain Covid precaution controls.
"Preventive Measures in the Dental Office
The emergence of the Delta and Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants has been very challenging.
Fortunately, the metrics are finally going in the right direction and cases, hospitalizations, and
deaths are declining in both Maryland and across the nation. While this is excellent news; with
its many variables the future of COVID is still uncertain. Among these variables is the increased
use of home tests with no reporting requirements as well as the situation in Ukraine which
has displaced millions of people and is the perfect breeding ground for infectious diseases such
as COVID-19.
Therefore, while there has been a relaxation of some COVID-19 restrictions such as the optional
use of face masks outside of the medical environment, there have been no changes in
healthcare settings including dentistry. CDC Guidelines regarding managing COVID-19 in the
dental office remain in effect inclusive of enhanced respiratory protection, screening of patients
and staff, use of facemasks for everyone in the facility, including patients and staff, and social
distancing.
You are only as safe as the least compliant person in your immediate environment. It is the
dentist’s responsibility to comply with the CDC Guidelines. Additional information can be found
on the CDC website at this link: https://www.cdc.gov/oralhealth..."
