The American Dental Association (ADA) and the Florida Dental Association (FDA) believe the World Health Organization (WHO) has once again given inaccurate information. WHO, at times has taken the position that masks were not needed and that Covid19 was not a big threat. Recently, WHO has minimized the importance of oral hygiene and dental treatment. The ADA and FDA are challenging their view. We join with them. To date, there has been no transmission of Covid19 within any dental office. For years, the office of Gene R. Patch, DMD has protected against viruses worse or equal to Covid19.
A new interim policy from the American Dental Association (ADA) states dentistry is an “essential health care service,” reaffirming that oral health has long been recognized as an integral part of overall health.
The policy includes the following:
• Oral health is an integral component of systemic health.
• Dentistry is an essential health care service because of its role in evaluating, diagnosing, preventing or treating oral diseases, which can affect systemic health.
• The term “Essential Dental Care” be defined as any care that prevents and eliminates infection, preserves the structure and function of teeth as well as orofacial hard and soft tissues. Orofacial generally refers to the mouth, jaws and face.
• Essential dental care should continue to be delivered during global pandemics or other disaster situations.
• Government agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency have acknowledged dentistry as an essential service needed to maintain the health of Americans so they can sustain their health and livelihoods and live resiliently during the COVID-19 pandemic response.
“Whether it’s the current pandemic, a future epidemic or a natural disaster in a particular area, this policy recognizes the need for people to be able to continue to access the full range of dental services,” said ADA President Chad P. Gehani, D.D.S. “Oral health is integral to overall health — staying well depends on having access to health care, which includes dental treatment.”
Dr. Gehani added that regular dental visits are important because treatment, as well as prevention of dental disease, helps keep people healthy. “Beyond teeth and gums, the mouth also serves as a window to the rest of the body and can show signs of infection, nutritional deficiencies and systemic diseases,” he said.
