Editor’s note: This story has been updated with comments from the New York State Dental Association.

— Expanded dentist care is not a part of the state’s phase two of reopening businesses amid the coronavirus, a spokesman for Gov.

But the New York State Dental Association says it believes regular dental care is allowed under phase two, and it’s using some language from the governor’s executive order to make its point.

“The Governor’s office has not informed NYSDA that dentists are not part of the Phase II reopening, nor answered our previous requests for clarification on this point,” association spokeswoman Grazia Yaeger said in response to syracuse.com’s questions today.

Another top Cuomo official said this afternoon that expanded dental services are not part of phase two.

But the state’s dental association argues that dentistry is a “professional service,” which is included as a category in phase two reopening plans?

Cuomo signed an executive order Friday reopening some business sectors in five regions of the state, including in Central New York.

New York has a reopening tool on its website that allows you to look up information by region, business and phase.
