Dentistry during and post-pandemic

Silvia Alencar Gonçalves e Sergio Eduardo de Paiva Gonçalves

“The world will not be the same after the pandemic” has been the most shared post in social networks and chats between friends and family. Some philosophers, based on the many crises recorded in history as a reference, do not believe in significant behavioral changes that last after a crisis is over. In any case, there is no doubt that we have suddenly been forced to stop everything and change concepts that we had held along all of our lives. This has caused a great impact on society, economics, politics and, obviously, Dentistry. The pandemic has exposed all our fragility. We have been through months of ignorance, guesses, fears, insecurity, questions and contradictions. And this will last until the moment when we assign new meanings and importance to friends, family, colleagues and our own work, patients, hugs and kisses.
