Impossible Restrictions Now in Place for Emergency Dental Procedures in PA

March 24, 2020 by Paul Crowe

PA Secretary of Health Dr. Richard Rachel Levine and Governor Tom Wolf

Over and above Governor Wolf’s “life-sustaining” business restrictions during this COVID-19 event, there are also restrictions on emergency dental work, this isn’t for routine check ups, this applies when the pain is unbearable and you need a dental procedure right now.

Dentists in PA must cease all dental treatment except emergencies within the provided guidelines:

  • All personnel must follow proper protocol when donning and doffing personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • All personnel must use N95 masks or higher; goggles or a face-shield covering face and sides; disposable gowns and gloves.
  • Treatment must be provided in negative pressure isolation rooms with HEPA filtration.

Is there a dentist in Erie County with a negative pressure isolation room available for emergency dental work? Is there one anywhere in the entire state?

This isn’t a mistake, they even admit it in the PA Department of Health notice:

Dental emergencies are likely to occur, and most dental facilities will not be able meet the stringent infection prevention and control requirements …

And then, there’s this:

If you have tele-dentistry available, we appreciate you providing this service to patients who are experiencing true emergencies related to pain/infection, as they might be treated with antibiotics and pain medication.

In other words, take some drugs and call me in the morning.

Have the rational adults in PA government been quarantined?
