As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, risks can come from anywhere and at any time, and have a major impact on our well-being, business, and our ability to deliver oral health care. Although not everything can be controlled, one thing that can be done is to be better prepared for risks before they emerge.
A dental practice faces a myriad of risks and preparing for all of them can seem daunting. This is why the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) created the resource: Preparedness in a Dental Office - Building Resilience When Deviating from Business-as-Usual
This resource captures valuable insights received from representatives from provincial and territorial dental associations (PTDAs) across Canada, the Canadian Dental Hygienist Association, Canadian Dental Assistants’ Association, CDSPI, as well as practising dental professionals from coast to coast to coast.
This resource brings dental professionals through the steps of identifying risks, making risk assessments, and preparing for/mitigating risks. Drawing on dental professionals’ lived experiences, this step-by-step guide will help ensure that your dental office and team is ready to tackle obstacles that come your way.
