Can dentists reopen in California? The answer is yes, with modifications. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued guidelines for dentists to follow in order to reopen their offices and provide dental care to patients. These guidelines include:
- Dentists must screen patients for COVID-19 symptoms before they come to the office.
- Dentists must wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including masks, gloves, and gowns.
- Dentists must clean and disinfect their offices frequently.
- Dentists must limit the number of patients in the office at one time.
These guidelines are in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to protect the health of patients and dentists. Dentists who follow these guidelines can safely reopen their offices and provide dental care to patients.
