This study evaluates Dental Health Care Providers (DHCPs) in Saudi Arabia on COVID-19 related concerns, perceived impacts, and their preparedness. Published in PeerJ, researchers concluded that the majority of DHCPs felt concerned about their risk of exposure and falling ill from infection and infecting friends/family. Measures to improve protection for DHCPs, minimizing psychological implications, and potential social stigmatization should be identified during the planning phase at the onset of future pandemics.
