Health services across the world face an unprecedented situation as a result of a global COVID‐19 outbreak. Urgent joined research efforts regarding the SARS‐COV‐2 rapid tests, accurate diagnosis, especially early recognition, and effective treatment of life‐threatening complications would be highly desirable for humanity and medical workforce all over the world that try to combat a current global pandemic threat. Due to indirect complex effect, intensified COVID‐19 therapies and multi‐drug treatment, it is believed that some oral conditions could be aggravated by COVID‐19 disease, particularly those with autoimmune aetiology, linked to compromised immune system or long‐term pharmacotherapy.
