Mr. Earle has been working with the dental profession for much of his career. He led the Arizona Dental Association for eleven years from 2007 through 2019. He came to organized dentistry from a distinguished career in healthcare regulation, having previously served as the ExecutiveDirector of the Arizona Board of Dental Examiners, the NewJersey Board of Dentistry and the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners. He is an Honorary Fellow of the American College of Dentists, the International College of Dentists and the Pierre Fauchard Academy. He holds a BA in Public Affairs from George Washington University, an MBA from Rutgers University and an MPH from Columbia University.
In an effort to help emergency room doctors keep the focus on COVID-19 patients, Kevin has launched a special emergency response campaign for dental procedures.
Every 14 seconds someone goes into the emergency room for a dental related issue. Emergency rooms are not equipped to handle definitive dental care. With the government limiting many dentist offices to handling urgent care and some of them actually closing, people are having challenges finding a dentist to treat their dental emergency or, they simply aren’t going into the emergency rooms out of fear of contracting the coronavirus. Dentists are experts in infection control. This is why it’s so important for patients to get connected to a dentist when experiencing pain or infection. I recently launched the U.S. Dental Triage so that we can help keep people out of the emergency rooms by connecting them with dentists who can treat them.
What other precautions will dentists take to make sure the patient stays safe when visiting their office?
The dentist will ask you to call them once you arrive at the office and they will come out to the car to get you and take you directly to a pre-sterilized room. The dentist and dental assistants will be wearing gloves and masks, and you will be isolated from any other patients on the premises.
How will this also aid the healthcare workers in the dental community?
Since many dental offices are closed across the country and only able to operate for dental emergencies, we are providing a solution to that. Many patients are unable to reach their dentist offices to schedule appointments and we are able to help the
dentists with scheduling and new referrals to allow them to stay in business and provide lifesaving emergency services to people who need attention asap.
For Dentist:
Why is it important to you that a service like this exists? The coronavirus pandemic has added so much stress to the daily
lives of our fellow Americans, we can address the additional stress of finding a dentist to handle an emergency dental case.
Why is it beneficial to see a dentist as opposed to going to the emergency room?
Emergency rooms are only equipped to handle to address the symptoms – – addressing pain or infection with pain medication or
antibiotics. They aren’t staffed to handle definitive dental treatment like fillings, root canals or extractions. These are
services that can really only be addressed in a dental office.
What is considered a dental emergency?
The American Dental Association Dental recently published a statement about dental emergencies. These are conditions that “are potentially life-threatening and require immediate treatment to stop ongoing tissue bleeding [or to] alleviate severe pain or infection.” Conditions include uncontrolled bleeding; cellulitis or a diffuse soft-tissue bacterial infection with intraoral or extraoral swelling that potentially compromises the patient’s airway; or trauma involving facial bones that potentially compromises the patient’s airway. As part of the emergency guidance, the Association added urgent dental care which “focuses on the management of conditions that require immediate attention to relieve severe pain and/or risk of infection and to alleviate the burden on hospital emergency departments.”
We are available 24 hours a day and we will direct you to an available dentist that accepts your insurance and will see you right away. The dentist will then be able to do an online screening with the patient to make sure that they don’t have symptoms of coronavirus themselves, and that their symptoms comply with the American Dental Association’s list of urgent care procedures.
