How COVID-19 is Impacting Dental Care Delivery in Public Health Settings

Join us for a webinar as we highlight a second wave of data collected as part of HPI’s tracking of the impact of COVID-19 on dentists in public health settings.

Topics covered will include changes in staffing levels, patient volume, mobile programs, the use of teledentistry and overall patient capacity in FQHCs and other public health settings as a result of COVID-19 and how this compares to private practices. Our panelists will discuss a broad array of issues relating to how COVID-19 is affecting access to dental care for vulnerable populations and what long-term impacts the pandemic might have going forward.

This webinar will be moderated by Marko Vujicic, PhD, Chief Economist & VP at ADA’s Health Policy Institute and presented by Chelsea Fosse, DMD/MPH, Senior Health Policy Analyst at ADA’s Health Policy Institute. Panelists include Sam Wakim, DMD/MPH, Chief Dental Officer at Zufall Health Center and Elizabeth Vi Simpson, DMD, General Dentist at Meridian Health Services.

As always, there will be time for audience Q&A.
