I just wanted to comment that I agree it’s essential that a dental professional take the time to get to know their patients in order to better identify needs, values, desires, etc.
The underlying principle of the safest dental visit is to treat everyone as possibly having an infectious disease. Still at least 14% of people with HIV in US don’t know their status

The concept of establishing KIOSK in the pre-registration area helped us to screen patients visiting our dental institution (SIBAR Institute of Dental Sciences,Andhra Pradesh, India). Except during peak, we operated with full services, currently we deliver services 200-300 patients per day.
Dental lasers reduce aerosols by approx 97%. A food additive added to handpiece water/spray congealed the water spray to a gel like consistency as in space. – Dr B http://www.CalteXPress.com
Are there any other controls that can be used, such as the use of pre-procedural rinsing to reduce bio-aerosols?
