Saliva & Covid-19 Testing in Clinical Dental Practice

Oral healthcare professionals work with saliva in daily practice so understanding the risks of exposure to contaminated saliva and aerosols during the dental care is critical. Therefore, oral healthcare professionals have to be well-positioned to work with saliva while understanding if routine testing for COVID-19 would help the clinicians to lower the risk.
