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