Emergency or not?
ADA provides more detailed guidance
by KEVIN KUO, DDS, MMSc | March 18, 2020
The American Dental Association provides more information on which procedures are considered emergency and urgent. ADA lists:
The ADA was careful to point out that state governments and state dental associations may be best positioned to provide guidance to dentists.
Author Commentary: The lists certainly contains many oral surgery and endodontic procedures, which makes sense. The list is more encompassing as far as what is considered an emergency as compared to the AAE.
