Operative words

This mandate removes the practice of dentistry and dental hygiene from Revised Mandate 015 and provides interim recommendations and guidelines as we continue to assess the public health emergency and phase into non-urgent dental needs.... Practitioners are advised to be aware of rates of community transmission in their service area... and mitigate risks accordingly.

Enforcement

Issued as an appendix to Mandate 015 under the disaster declaration

Notes

Alaska's dental-board-level instrument was issued through DHSS rather than the Board of Dental Examiners.
