Training for dentists
Welcome to our Right to Care training guide for Dentists, we hope you find this information useful.
Dentists can play 2 roles in the COVID-19 pandemic:
- Performing emergency dental procedures which may be aerosol generating procedures
- Assisting the COVID response team with screening, testing and triaging patients, where there is a shortage of doctors.
We recommend working through the following documents to equip dentists with the information and skills required to fulfil their job requirements. Please see below for a recommended training agenda.

Please be aware that information is changing rapidly as this pandemic is progressing, so please make sure that you have the most up to date versions of the training materials. Different countries and regions may have differing guidelines, so please adapt these materials where necessary.
Remember that all workers aiding in the pandemic response need to be protected, supported, monitored, inspired, and appreciated, as it is a difficult time for everyone.
