Faculty of Dental Surgery Guidance for COVID-19 Recovery Phase

The Oral Medicine guidance that was drawn up in collaboration with BISOM fellows and members has been placed on the FDS website (https://www.rcseng.ac.uk/dental-faculties/fds/coronavirus/#guidance). The aim of this guidance is to encourage a consistent approach to the provision of Oral Medicine care within all dental settings while recognising the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic presents.

The guides are intended to assist oral health care professionals in triaging and managing patients and should be used in conjunction with national guidance relating to good practice and infection prevention and control.
