Abstract:
COVID-19 has changed the face of dentistry in the UK and around the world. The potential for aerosol generation, the presence of the virus within saliva and the fact that dental professionals work with the oral-pharyngeal environment determines that dental treatment poses a risk of viral transmission. At the start of the pandemic, the cessation of routine dental care across the country necessitated the rapid establishment of an emergency dental service at King's College Hospital. This paper describes its evolution to date and the challenges encountered along the way.
