Because of the nature of dental environments, dental patients and employees are at risk of cross-infection. According to Saudi Ministry of Health (MOH) instructions, dental facilities were recommended to close throughout the lockdown period, except for dental emergencies. This suggestion was consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Dental Association (ADA), and other worldwide dental organizations. Furthermore, non-urgent dental operations were postponed. As the dental patient was concerned about the hazards of attending a dental clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic, a large proportion chose not to travel to the dental clinic in many urgent dental circumstances, preferring teleconsultations and treating the condition at home. According to a study published in BMC Oral Health (2021), female residents, persons residing in metropolitan areas, and those who had never been to the dentist were more likely to choose not to go to dental clinics during the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the South African Dental Association (SADA) recommended that older patients and those with comorbidities postpone any clinical dentistry barring true emergencies. Furthermore, the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention issued a circular to private health facilities to postpone non-essential procedures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To minimize the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the UAE halted elective dental treatment in March 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic condition negatively impacted the dental industry in the Middle East & Africa region.
