These are indeed historic times that we are all currently living in and trying to navigate through. Luckily, we in the dental industry aren't having to walk through the COVID-19 pandemic alone.
Dentists and dental team members are looking for answers on everything from infection control to business tips to communication skills during this time when their practices are temporarily closed or severely limited.
