“Sa Tooth-too Lang, Ano Nga Ba Ang Hospital Dentistry?”
As the world grappled with the pandemic’s relentless grip, dentistry faced unprecedented challenges. Yet, dentists rose as unwavering guardians of oral health. Amidst uncertainty, they adapted and persevered, ensuring the continuation of vital dental care. From implementing stringent infection control measures to modifying treatment protocols, dentistry emerged resiliently to provide a safe haven for patients.
Hospital dentistry, in particular, played a pivotal role in this battle. As an integral part of healthcare systems, hospitals offered comprehensive dental services to cater to diverse needs. Urgent treatments for severe dental pain, facial trauma, and life-threatening infections were promptly delivered, prioritizing patient well-being. Simultaneously, hospitals embraced a spectrum of procedures, including oral surgeries, dental implants, and complex restorations, serving as beacons of hope and healing.
Looking ahead, the training of future dentists shall witness an exciting metamorphosis. The pandemic has propelled innovation and adaptation in dental education. Blending traditional methodologies with cutting-edge technology, dental training programs are poised for a transformative shift. Virtual platforms and simulation techniques will facilitate immersive learning experiences, fostering technical proficiency and critical thinking. These novel approaches, enriched by collaborative networks and mentorship, will equip future dentists with the skills and resilience needed to thrive in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape.
In this episode of STOP COVID DEATHS, we will delve into the remarkable journey of dentistry during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, explore the range of dental services and procedures available at hospitals, and illuminate the transformative path of training future dentists. Our speakers will be Dr. Roland P. Alvañez, who is the Assistant Coordinator for Training at the PGH Department of Hospital Dentistry and he will be joined by Dr. Julianne Eris N. Navarro, who is the Assistant Coordinator for Service from the same department. Our reactor will be their Department Chair, Dr. Maria Cristina L. Estrada. The Synthesis and Closing Remarks will be delivered by the Head of the PGH Office of Expanded Education and Training, Dr. Stella Marie L. Jose.
