Overview
The good news is you’re close to reopening. The bad news is it’s not going to be business as usual. You can expect a wide range of "new normals" that will impact every aspect of the practice-procedurally, clinically and administratively. This will require a lot of training and a formal, well-thought-out plan for onboarding everyone-both new and returning staff-before you reopen.

Overview
The COVID-19 situation varies greatly across the country, and some practices will be opening before others. To assist practices through this transition, the ADA’s Advisory Task Force on Dental Practice Recovery has developed a toolkit with interim guidance which recommends measures to take to protect the patients, staff and dentists from COVID-19 as dental practices re-engage in providing routine care.

To further help you and your staff prepare for when that time comes, the ADA has recorded an online course to provide an overview of the Return to Work Interim Guidance Toolkit and answer questions from the dental community.
