Among the guideline recommendations:
1. Minimize waiting room time by having patients deliver forms online. Have patients call the office when they arrive, and alert patients when the room is ready.
2. Dental staff should wear FDA-approved high-efficiency respirators covered by a surgical mask while treating patients. During aerosolized procedures, they also wear face shields.
3. Schedule at least 10-minute slots between patients to ensure thorough disinfection of rooms.
The dental service organization provides administrative services and support for more than 100 dental practices nationwide.
