Coronavirus: No return to 'business as usual' for dentists

The British Dental Association (BDA) has warned there will be no return to 'business as usual' for dentistry in England. Practices were told last week that they could reopen from Monday 8 June, if they put in place appropriate safety measures. But some dentists say it was not enough warning and they lack necessary kit. A poll of 2,053 practices in England suggests that just over a third (36%) plan to reopen on Monday. 'Anyone expecting dentistry to magically return on Monday will find only a skeleton service,' says BDA chair Mick Armstrong.
