Here are three COVID-19 infection control updates for dentists:
1. The CDC launched an app March 21 to help ensure dental practices are meeting infection control standards.
2. The CDC updated its infection control and prevention measures for oral healthcare providers Feb. 8 and eased indoor mask guidance for the general public Feb. 25.
3. HHS' Covid-19 Uninsured Program will stop accepting claims for COVID-19 testing and treatment because of a lack of sufficient funds, which one healthcare executive said could lead to cuts in dental program funding to make up the costs.
