"I was reading 'Dentistry Today' the other day, an online publication I read every week. The article that caught my eye was written by Dr. Roger Levin, discussing what dentistry would look like after COVID-19, a topic I have been following closely. The article brought up some interesting points, including the challenges we will face in dental staffing and further changes in dental technology, which we must embrace to keep ourselves, patients, and staff safe. The biggest takeaway for me was that the author said that those in the dental profession who prepare now and implement changes as soon as possible are most likely to experience better outcomes."
