Routine dental care can be provided to patients with the following precautionary measures:

• patients can expect to be asked screening questions before attending a clinic
• dental practice staff and clinical team members are required to have at least two doses of a COVID-19 vaccination and comply with the current policy: Occupational Assessment, Screening and Vaccination Against Specified Infectious Diseases.
  

All practitioners should continue to apply a risk assessment approach, necessary personal protective equipment and other infection prevention and control measures. COVID-19 guidelines for dental services have been developed as a guide to assist practitioners in ensuring they have an appropriate risk management approach and personal protective equipment.
