KEEPING YOU PREPARED FOR THE UNEXPECTED

COVID-19 TRUSTED RESOURCE From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, organized dentistry has been an incredible resource for members. From emails communicating the latest updates to advocacy and clinical guidance, dentists were— and continue to be—supported and informed. The FDA and ADA have provided resources to members, been advocates for dentistry and encouraged the public to return for care. Organized dentistry provided details about federal loan programs and tax credits, changing guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, vaccine developments and more. If you have COVID-related questions specific to your practice, please call 850.681.3629 to speak with an FDA subject matter expert.
