Updated Guidance for Dental Settings – This interim guidance has been updated based on currently available information about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the current situation in the United States. As dental healthcare facilities begin to restart elective procedures in accordance with guidance from local and state officials, there are precautions that should remain in place as a part of the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most recommendations in this updated guidance are not new; they have been reorganized into the following sections:

• Recommended infection prevention and control (IPC) practices for routine dental healthcare delivery during the pandemic
• Recommended IPC practices when providing dental healthcare for a patient with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection
