Referencing the "American Dental Association COVID-19 Practice Resources," I developed a Pow-erPoint presentation that detailed the causes of various dental emergencies and where to refer these patients: general dentist, oral surgeon, or the emergency room if in fact a life-threatening situation had developed. Through this application, the medical team has decided to institute more dental-focused questions and oral hygiene education into their well-checks, as well as requiring dental referrals. By collaborating more with medicine through opportunities such as the one discussed, dentistry can reinforce its importance in overall patient health. Several avenues where dentists can reach out to our medical colleagues and collaborate include university and hospital-based residencies, emergency rooms, private practices, or local and national medical associations.
