Dentistry needs dental nurse support at every appointment to ensure a ‘workable way forward’ when practices reopen

Dentistry can only be delivered with dental nurses at chairside for all clinicians if the profession is to find a workable way forward amid the COVID-19 crisis.

That’s according to Pandora Dental, a pioneering group of 150 independent dental surgeons, who have joined forces with a number of other dental groups to get dentists back to work safely.

These include the IndepenDent Practice Owners UK, as well as expressed support from Alpha Omega and The Portman Group.

More than 650 practice owners, representing more than 1,100 dental practices, have developed what they feel is a better way to deliver dentistry to patients as the government eases lockdown restrictions.

They say four-handed dentistry is the safest way to offer dental care – and mooted that COVID-19 testing before teams return to work may be an option.
