Some commonly asked questions regarding dental treatments during the COVID-19 pandemic
Is it safe to visit the dentist?
Australian dental practitioners have the highest infection control standards in the world and the safety of their patients and their teams is a cornerstone of Australian dental practice. Where appropriate, dentists will take extra precautions to keep you safe during the pandemic.
You should not delay dental treatment and your dentist is open and ready to help.
What should I expect if I do see my dentist?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, additional measures are being taken to stop the spread of the virus. You might see an empty waiting room and be asked to wash your hands or use hand sanitiser as you enter the practice, and on the way out, as well as other social distancing requirements. You will be asked screening questions prior to your dental visit.
