During the COVID-19 pandemic, some dentists have begun charging extra for personal protective equipment (PPE). This has led to some controversy, with some patients arguing that this is an unfair practice. However, dentists argue that this is necessary to offset the increased costs of providing dental care during the pandemic.
The cost of PPE has increased significantly since the start of the pandemic. In some cases, the cost of PPE has increased by as much as 500%. This has put a financial strain on many dentists, who are already struggling to make ends meet.
