COVID-19 Update
17 April 2020

We contacted you on 3rd April to share our expectations of dental providers during the current situation. These expectations have not changed.
However the number of operational urgent dental care centres are now increasing and your local NHS England (NHSE) contacts will be able to provide you with details of referral pathways for patients who need active treatment.
The Chief Dental Officer (CDO) has also released further information on a number of issues, including on the operation of urgent dental care centres and personal protective equipment. NHSE have also released a Standard Operating Procedure on urgent dental care centres.
The advice and guidance given by the CDO has a clear aim in supporting the government agenda of reducing the risks of COVID19 transmission within the general population. We would encourage dental providers to give proper consideration to the letter from the Chief Dental Officer whether your practice is NHS, private, or mixed.
