I hadn't thought much about the fact that the economic impact of quarantine measures would affect private dental practices as well.
It's difficult for me not to be at least a little cynical; there is a clear, strong, (and reasonable) economic motive for this move, and I feel I'd have more sympathy for their position if they had stated as much. While I'd understand that some patients might have significant issues that need to be addressed, the population at large will be fine skipping a cleaning to curtail the spread for a few months.
