I am a bit scared because I need to have my dental procedure tomorrow morning. Since the lockdown, I haven't seen any dentists in town. Now. I had an appointment that needs to carry on. I need to have oral prophylaxis and the like. I think it is safe not to be infected with the coronavirus. My cousin had his before I decided to have this appointment.
Did you ever have second thoughts about seeing a dentist due to this pandemic?

Need to see a dentist as well. I need to get my teeth cleaned and I need a tooth filled.
I doubt when I can do it though.

I know what you feel. I feel very comfortable with my dental hygienist that checks my teeth and cleans them and when I had my appointment only with her I was not sure what to expect. They told me to come 10 minutes before my appointment. I had to fill out a form. My dental hygienist was in a suit and was covered and she disinfected the room after each patient. I had to take off my mask, but, she had all her garb on. So that is the only thing I will do because I have to take care of my teeth. Everyone has to do what is best for them and do what they feel.

Teeth cleaning can wait until the pandemic is over!
I would have offered to go with you and hold your hand if you were scared about having the procedure done, but Covid 19 is no joke so you can do that appointment on your own!

@DaddyEvil The dentist did a great job. However, I need to see her again on Monday. She needs to fix one of my teeth.

@Shavkat Your teeth cleaning went well? The dental technician didn't yank out any teeth while cleaning them?

My great-aunt is going to the dentist today. I haven't been to a dentist in a long time. I would be scared too.

Speaking of the dentist, I need to see mine too and this can't be postponed because my broken tooth badly needs filling or extraction whatever... And I am definitely having second thoughts which I think is normal to feel because of the pandemic. But what can we do if it is something urgent right? We just have to trust their system. They know what they are doing and protecting their patients and themselves is a protocol. So be at peace and feel assured you're in safe hands.
