+ PATIENT EVALUATION

The dentist must be able to identify a suspected case of infection by

COVID19. In general, those patients who currently have fever do not go to the consultation. So it is important to ask some questions,

even in the small anamnesis made by phone, in order to collect

fundamental information that makes us suspicious.

alcohol in the patient's hands.
