Fifty-eight percent thought that they had a 0% to 25% chance of having immunity\/antibodies to COVID-19. Non\u2013dental health care workers thought that their chance was significantly higher (P &lt; 0.05) than others. Over 70% were sometimes, frequently, or always worried about their friends and loved ones getting COVID-19 and of resulting financial problems. Dental workers were significantly less afraid than non\u2013dental health care and non\u2013health care providers. For all groups, more than half of the respondents stated that the pandemic had a negative (somewhat worse or worse) impact on daily life (59%), interactions with others (65%), stress levels (66%), and enjoyment of life (56%). There were significant differences among all 3 groups regarding the percentage of individuals with a negative impact on job security (dental, 47%; non\u2013dental health care, 34%; non\u2013health care, 31%). However, more than half of the respondents stated that the pandemic had a positive impact (same, somewhat better, or much better) on caring about one another, self-care, and exercise. Knowing the results of an antibody test would decrease the level of stress and anxiety in 67% of respondents. Over 80% found a COVID-19 test received in a dental setting acceptable, were \u201cdefinitely\u201d satisfied, and would \u201cdefinitely\u201d recommend it to a friend, family, or coworker.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings support that dental workers are as vulnerable as other essential workers to threats and psychological impacts of COVID-19.

It also highlights a role that dentistry can play within the broader health care system, during and beyond the current pandemic, to help with surveillance efforts of community health.
