AAPD President Dr. Jessica Y. Lee
Answers Some Critical Questions
by Dr. Jessica Y. Lee AAPD President
1. How has the COVID-19 pandemic changed pediatric dentistry in the short term and possibly in the
long term?
It’s amazing to me that it has been over a year that we have been living with this pandemic. In some
ways, pediatric dentistry has changed and in others it has stayed the same. If I could generalize, pediatric
dentists are social beings. We love being together. We are community minded. So early on, we did our part.
We closed our offices. We offered up our precious PPE to our medical colleagues. We joined in the collec-
tive effort to address this pandemic. We did this willingly and felt good about being a part of the solution.
However, as the months went by, we began to struggle with the isolation like so many Americans. I do
think there are some changes to the practice of pediatric dentistry. We have always been focused on pre-
vention, the age one dental visit and establishment of a dental home. These are more important now more
than ever. We saw first-hand what happens when care is delayed. We are also seeing a shift toward manag-
ing dental disease in addition to restoring teeth as needed. In addition, we have always been excellent at
infection control and PPE, but with novel viruses, we have just intensified those efforts. We have been able
to address these changes with the work of both the AAPD Safety Committee led by Dr. Jade Miller and
AAPD Research and Policy Center led by Chief Policy Officer Dr. Paul Casamassimo.
2. When will AAPD be able to resume holding in-person continuing education courses?
I am so proud of AAPD staff for making the pivot during this pandemic to provide quality, scientific-based
CE offerings in the virtual format. I believe that some online virtual offerings are here to stay. It was conve-
nient for many of us to receive CE on demand. Having said that, I really miss the in-person CE experience
that AAPD offers. I am cautiously optimistic that we will have fall 2021 in-person CE course. We are also
planning to resume the in-person Annual Session in 2022, with AAPD 2022 being the 75th Anniversary
taking place in San Diego. I know our members are really looking forward to this!
3. With so many organizations focused on creating a welcoming environment as part of their diversity
and inclusion efforts, what is the AAPD doing to make sure that women and minority pediatric
dentists are welcome and encouraged into becoming volunteer leaders in the AAPD?
We have made this a top priority. Over the past year, we dealt with the pandemic but also social issues. The
AAPD was a part of conversations occurring all over the U.S. and the world. In many ways, we are the mod-
el of inclusion. Our board of trustees is as diverse as any out there. I could also say the same for the mem-
bers and alumni of our Kellogg School of Management/Northwestern University Leadership Institute. Our
workforce is a broad and diverse community, with talented and caring people. But no one is perfect and
there is room for improvement. That is why I announced the creation of the AAPD President’s Task Force on

Legal Issues Related to Dental Staff and COVID-19 Vaccine
by C.Scott Litch Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel
This column draws your attention to an ADA fact sheet1 that answers a number of legal questions about
dental employers and COVID-19 vaccines for employees. Excerpts from some of the key Q and As are in-
cluded below. I encourage readers to review the entire document, which is available on the AAPD website2
and on the ADA’s website under their COVID-19 center.
“1. Can I as a health care employer require my employees to get COVID-19 vaccines?
Answer: The answer is likely yes, at least with respect to practice staff with direct patient contact in
the operatory, including any employed dentists. Yet, much remains to be determined, not the least of
which includes how available vaccines are and will become (currently, the only vaccines authorized by
the Food and Drug Administration are for emergency use and do not have final approval; in addition,
they are not yet widely available) . . .
State health departments are in the process of prioritizing the classes of individuals to receive vac-
cines as and when they become available. And, even assuming a vaccine were widely available, the
question raises a range of potential legal issues, and some practical challenges, you may wish to con-
sider before making a business decision to require some or all of your staff to be vaccinated.”
“2. What kind of disability/pregnancy-related accommodations should my practice consider in
evaluating whether a reasonable accommodation is possible?
Answer: It is generally assumed that COVID-19 in the health care setting might pose a significant risk
of substantial harm to the health or safety of the individual or others, at least with respect to staff
members who have direct contact with patients in the operatory setting. For those staff members
with such close patient contact, the critical question may come down to whether measures taken
before the vaccine became available (i.e., masks, gloves, gowns, shields, protective barriers, social dis-
tancing, etc.) would constitute a reasonable accommodation to continue with respect to a staff mem-
ber with a disability or pregnancy-related condition that could be harmed by a vaccine. The same
question would also apply to non-operatory adjustments made before a vaccine became available.”
“4. If I require staff members to be vaccinated, what proof can I request them to provide?
Answer: Practices should take care not to request any verification that reveals any medical condition
of the employee aside from vaccination status, as further inquiries may run afoul of federal or state
disability laws. You may wish to advise your staff prior to testing the employee not to submit such
information. All the practice needs to know is the employee’s name and whether a vaccine has been
administered (completely in the case of multi-dose vaccines).”
