Dental restrictions to ease from 28 September

The Australian Dental Association Victorian Branch (ADAVB) welcomes the announcement today to lift the restriction to provide only urgent dental care when Melbourne moves to the Second Step on the road map on 28 September 2020.

When Stage 4 restrictions were introduced, one of the requirements was that only urgent dental treatment could be performed. Whilst this was seen as a necessary step to restrict the movement of people at the peak of the pandemic in Victoria, the continuation of restrictions had the potential to impact on dental health.

The easing of restrictions from 28 September means that patients will now be able to attend for non-urgent procedures such as routine examinations, preventive and restorative treatment, dentures and orthodontic care.

“We want to assure our patients that it remains safe to visit the dentist, and people should not put off attending if they have a problem,” said Dr Pacella. “We want to thank our patients for their understanding during this difficult time and look forward to seeing them soon.’" ADAVB

Wheelers Hill Dental thanks you for your patience and understanding during these trying times.
