Abstract
Many states have called on dentists to volunteer alongside other health care professionals (OHCPs) during the COVID-19 pandemic, introducing the question of when it is ethical for a dentist to broaden their scope of practice. Although a dentist’s obligatory role during spikes in infection should be emergency oral health care and public health awareness, OHCPs have other supererogatory skills, beyond the call of duty, that could help alleviate demand on hospitals, testing, and vaccination centers.
