Abstract
Routine dental procedures produce aerosol and splatter, which pose a potential risk to the clinician, dental personnel as well immune compromised patient and doctors. As a profession we are generally meticulous with regards to infection control. We have been dealing with other infectious patients like those suffering from AIDS, Hepatitis, HIV, Tuberculosis etc. We already do more than any other healthcare provider. There is always some lax people in any walk of life. That is why this article aims to spread awareness about aerosols and making decisions in partnership with the powers that be, to ensure all of our patients and team members are as safe as possible following COVID-19.
