The novel coronavirus causes the disease known as COVID-19. This disease has a long incubation period during which carriers of the virus may not show symptoms and still be contagious.
Some dental procedures create water spray which is one way that the novel coronavirus may spread. The ultra-fine nature of the spray can linger in the air for minutes to sometimes hours. This may transmit the coronavirus.
Due to the frequency of visits of other dental patients, the characteristics of the novel coronavirus, and the characteristics of dental procedures, there may be an elevated risk of contracting the novel coronavirus simply by being in a dental office.
Nova Scotia’s Chief Medical Officer of Health has asked individuals to maintain physical distancing of at least 2 meters (6 feet). However, it is not possible to maintain this distance and receive dental treatment.
