Background: This study aimed to describe dental care provision and the perceptions of dentists in Nova Scotia, Canada, during 1 week of the COVID-19 pandemic, shortly after the closing down of non-emergency, in-person care. Methods A survey was distributed to all 542 registered dentists in Nova Scotia, asking about dental care provision during 19-25 April 2020. Most answers were categorical, and descriptive analyses of these were performed. Data from the 1 open-ended question were analyzed using an inductive approach to identify themes. Results: The response rate was 43% (n = 235). Most dentists (181) provided care but only 13 provided in-person care. From the open-ended question, 4 concerns emerged: communication from the regulatory authority; respondents' health and that of their staff; the health of and access to care for patients; and the future of their business. Conclusions: Most respondents remained engaged in non-in-person dental care using various modes. They expressed concerns about their health and that of their staff and patients as well as about the future of their practice. Practical Implications: Dentists and dental regulatory authorities should engage in discussions to promote the health of dental staff and patients and quality of care during the chronic phase of the pandemic.
