KDA Sends Letter to Governor Asking for Dental Offices to be Reopened on May 3
The recommendations of the KDA Reopening Task Force, along with the American Dental Association (ADA)
Return to Work Interim Guidance Toolkit, were sent via email to Governor Laura Kelly this morning.
Also receiving the information were Dr. Lee Norman, MD, Secretary, Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE); Dr. Dayna Brinckman, DDS, Director, KDHE Bureau of Oral Health; Senator Susan Wagle, President, Kansas Senate; and Rep. Ron Ryckman, Speaker, Kansas House of Representatives.
The letter, which is also meant as guidance to Kansas dentists along with the ADA Return to Work interim Guidance Toolkit, are included for your review. It is important to note that the
recommendations of the KDA Reopening Task Force and the ADA Toolkit may be modified by KDHE.
Since it appears likely that the Governor will be allowing county health departments to continue with “stay-at-home” and other orders locally, the KDA encourages you to forward this information to health officials in your city and county.
