This article informs dental professionals of timely and critical recommendations to keep the practice of dentistry safe for the patients, the staff, the hygienists and the dentists. Teaching of these recommendations are being integrated in the clinical curriculum of pre-DDS and pre-DMD professionals, as well as in dental hygiene and dental assisting schools. The paper provides an essential and clearly-written overview of new mandatory procedures and protocols for the practice of dentistry, which will spread world-wide in the near future.
