They were more referring to things like, as mentioned, cleanings, cosmetics, checkups, etc. I’m not a dentist, but it seems everything else will still need appt when necessary.
This statement was just a recommendation. Also, there was no dental rep on the call, and I don’t think they’re informing dentists. After all, this was just a call among hospitals.
BTW, Kaiser sent out a notice to all members to postpone any non-essential procedure or doctors visit.
Think about how serious this is.
The governor tells all seniors not to come out of the house, and instead ask others to help bring supplies to them. And, in San Francisco, family members are not even allowed to see patients in the hospital until at least end of April.
