THE CDC, WITH ALL ITS “INFINITE WISDOM”, HAS DECLARED THAT MASKS ARE NO LONGER MANDATORY IN MOST AREAS OF HOSPITALS OR NURSING HOME FACILITIES.

IT IS UNCLEAR IF DENTAL OFFICES SHOULD FOLLOW THEIR RECOMENDATION BECAUSE THERE IS STILL A HIGH COVID COMMUNICATION RISK TO CONSIDER.

THEREFORE, AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED, WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROTECT OURSELVES WITH PROPER PPE AND PATIENTS CAN MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES ABOUT IT.
