This webinar will highlight a second wave of data collected as part of HPI’s tracking of the impact of COVID-19 on dentists in public health settings. Topics covered include changes in staffing levels, patient volume, mobile programs, the use of teledentistry and overall patient capacity in FQHCs and other public health settings as a result of COVID-19 and how this compares to private practices. Panelists will discuss and debate a broad array of issues under the umbrella of how COVID-19 is affecting access to dental care for vulnerable populations and what long-term impacts the pandemic might have going forward. As always, there will be time for audience Q&A.
