We hear every day of layoffs, Furloughs, and closings. It is sad but at the same time important that when the COVID-19 virus starts to "die off", that we are more than ready to get back to being the growing industry that we were just a few months ago. To update us of what the dental laboratory industry needs to know is once again Bennett Napier from the NADL.
