The full impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic remains to be seen. And while most dental practices are currently closed except for emergency care, this will eventually change, and oral health professionals will need to be prepared. To provide clinicians with a broad understanding of the novel coronavirus, this issue of Dimensions of Dental Hygiene includes a continuing education (CE) article, “Coronavirus Overview for Dental Professionals,” sponsored by an unrestricted educational grant from Crosstex, a member of the Hu-Friedy Group.
Written by Susan H.

The course confers two CE units and appears here: .
