Dentistry after Covid 19

We all know Covid-19 is a 'Black Swan' Event in our lives.. 
Dentists and Dentistry is in a period of Flux.
Its a time to Reflect, Revive and Restart.

                We being Healthcare providers are at the fore front of this and also at maximum risk to the infection.  Because of this risk, we have had to shut down our practices for a great financial loss to ourselves. Health is definitely above wealth.

            Now that we are now thinking ahead and thinking of restarting our practices in a matter of weeks from now atleast for emergency cases and less aerosol practice, 
the focus has now shifted to how to open up and still feel safe of the infection in our practice.

The guidelines have been issued and are being modified by DCI, IDA, CDC and various other bodies on what to do and what not. 

The only thing left is for us to make a choice - 

- How we should implement it. 
- Is it possible for all practices to implement all the guidelines. 
- Do we have such big practices that we can put up a traige area, changing room and waiting area and what not.
- Also we have different types of clientele. Is it possible for every patient to bear the cost of the new guidelines and that too for every visit. 

Or will it lead to a permanent change on how dentistry is practised. 
Will we see more of group practices or will it pave a way for Dental Insurance to enter in a big way.. 

What all problems will it lead to? Will the virus make a comeback because the guidelines were not followed properly.? Will it lead to persecution of the patient or the practice if a positive case is found out?

Well I guess we will have to wait for all the answers.. 

But Be positive. Remember - Whatever happens, happens for Good.
