“…However, the current results show that there are abrupt declines in searches during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Challenges in early diagnosis (Chumpitaz-Cerrate et al, 2021), economic consequences (Coulthard et al, 2020a;Coulthard et al, 2020b), and treatment delay (Varela-Centelles et al, 2021) could alter the health-seeking behavior of a population during the pandemic. Teledentistry could also decrease the RSV of oral cancer by changing the information source of the population from GT to dental healthcare professionals (Deshpande et al, 2021).…”

Worldwide, oral cancer is the 15 th leading cause of death and 16 th most common malignancy. The oral cancer incidence of four per 100, 000 cases vary depending on countries, races, age, gender, and socioeconomic situations (Ferlay et al., 2019). The risk factors for oral cancer include genetic and environmental factors, and physical conditions. Discrepancies per country could be due to preventive education, culture, medical archiving conditions, and life expectancies (Wyss et al., 2013). Roughly 657, 000 new instances and 330, 000 subsequent deaths due to oral cancer have been reported worldwide each year. Betel nut chewing, excessive drinking, and smoking are health-related behaviors that could lead to heightened risk of oral cancer occurrence. Although socioeconomic status has been emphasized and linked to increased oral cancer incidence, it has also been shown that highly urbanized areas had have greater risk for cancer as well (Hung et al., 2020).Early cancer prevention and detection is a vital component in the control of cancer.

“…In addition, when considering the new normal, Profitt goes beyond the changes in treatment to also highlight changes in products and technology for the practice of oral health care, and in the healthcare system as a whole [53]. Although "unanticipated benefits" such as enhanced self-care at home were mentioned as a silver lining of the pandemic, there were potential financial and health implications when patients had to place their ongoing care on hold [49,54].…”

Uncertainties around COVID-19 from the perspectives of oral health care workers during the first wave of SARS-CoV-2 infections in British Columbia, Canada

et al. 2021

Background The first wave of COVID-19 infections caused disturbances in all aspects of personal and professional lives. The aim of this study was to explore the ways in which that first wave of novel coronavirus infections resulted in uncertainties, as experienced by members of the oral health care workforce in British Columbia, Canada. Methods This qualitative inquiry purposefully recruited frontline oral health care workers, including dentists, dental hygienists, certified dental assistants, and administrative staff, via remote semi-structured interviews between April 20 and May 4, 2020. Coding, categories, and themes were inductively assigned. Results A total of 45 interviews, lasting between 39 and 74 minutes each, were conducted involving 18 dentists (6 females), 12 dental hygienists (11 females), 6 certified dental assistants (all females), and 9 administrators/front-desk staff (7 females). Fifty-one hours of audio recordings and more than 650 single-spaced pages of transcripts were produced. Five main themes emerged pertaining to uncertainties surrounding COVID-19, patient care, personal lives and infectiousness, concern for the future, and variations among different pandemics. Certitudes were less evident, but surfaced mostly when considering a potential new normal resulting from the pandemic. Conclusion Participants indicated that the uncertainties they felt were dependent upon what is known, and unknown, about the pandemic and the provision of oral health care during the first wave of infections. Future studies are needed to include the viewpoints of oral health care workers from other provinces, as well the perceptions of patients who received oral health care during the height of the first wave of the pandemic.
