COVID-19: Dental & Oral care

The virus that causes coronavirus disease in 2019 is the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (COVID-19). For respiratory infections, the mouth cavity is a possible reservoir. Patients with viral respiratory infections are more likely to develop bacterial superinfections. Dental health care professionals must be aware of the potential for the (SARS)-CoV-2 virus to be transmitted in a clinical setting. As a result, they must keep themselves informed about any new knowledge on this disease. Alternative techniques, such as Teledentistry, will allow dentists to provide care to patients while reducing the danger of cross contamination.
