On March 16, the 42,000 dentists in France closed the door of their practice and, in solidarity, gave their protective equipment to hospitals and nursing homes. Today, a few days before the deconfinement and the reopening of the cabins, they no longer have the necessary equipment to treat their patients in complete safety.
“We, dental surgeons, are naked. We gave our protective equipment to our colleagues and to hospitals. Mr. Olivier Veran, give us back our equipment” they claim on social networks. And to better understand the public authorities, the “naked” dentists took their picture in the simplest device, in their office.
In a recent speech, the Minister of Health announced the distribution of 150,000 masks to dentists. “That makes 4 masks per person, or a working day” they explain. No doubt they will pay attention to the Prime Minister’s speech this afternoon.
