McLean County dentists are taking a hands-on approach to getting their patients back in the chair, with many learning how to deliver the COVID vaccine themselves.
Dental practices have seen about a 20% decrease in volume due to COVID-19. Dr. Kirk Noraian with the McLean County Dental Society said he has seen a higher degree of decay, gum disease and teeth loss due to avoidance.
“By helping the community to achieve herd immunity, I think we are going to be able to get people more excited about getting back to the dentist for their care and being able to understand that their mouth isn’t disconnected from the rest of their body,” said Noraian. “Oral health is synonymous with stomach health. We are really trying to advocate that everyone’s oral health is a key part to their overall health.”
