The situation forced Natasha Kellett, the only dental hygienist still working on the chain of islands off B.C. 's North Coast, to brainstorm with other health-care professionals to come up with a plan for treating people in need of acute dental care. "I don't think any of us ever thought we would be in a true pandemic situation." "We have a lot of challenges accessing dental services even when it's not a pandemic situation." When a patient called Kellett's clinic, or any other dental clinic in Haida Gwaii, they were screened over the phone.
