Reduce the number of patients in dental clinics or orthodontics just for emergencies. During corona virus. As waiting rooms usually gets full of patients especially in orthodontic clinics.

To stop corona virus spreading and protect both employees and patients alike.

Limit these to necessary and urgent appointments only.
