Can you get COVID from the dentist? It's a valid concern, given the close contact involved in dental procedures. The good news is that the risk of transmission is low, thanks to the infection control measures that dentists have in place.
Dentists are required to follow strict infection control protocols to prevent the spread of infection. These protocols include wearing gloves, masks, and gowns, as well as sterilizing all instruments and surfaces. In addition, many dentists are now using high-volume suction to remove aerosols from the air, which can further reduce the risk of transmission.
