Dental restrictions in Victoria easing from 28 September
Following the media coverage on this issue over the weekend, letters to the Premier, Health Minister and Chief Health Officer on Monday, and meetings and discussion with key independent members of parliament over the last few days, the government has announced today that dentists in metropolitan Melbourne will move to ADA Level 2 dental restrictions from 28 September, and to Level 1 dental restrictions from 26 October. This means that dentists will be able to resume non-urgent procedures including routine examinations, restorative treatment and orthodontic care according to the Level 2 dental restriction guidelines.
