Re: My “temporary” filling is now almost 3 months old-

I've had several emergency dental visits since Covid 19 began.  Developed terrible tooth pain from a new filling that was too deep and aggravated the nerves, the tooth never recovered and I opted to have it pulled.  Dopey endodontist tested the tooth and would not perform a root canal on it because it didn't "test" and I was in severe agony for MONTHS.  Went for 2nd opinions, etc....what a friggin nightmare experience.

 

Personally I would have rather deal with Covid than chronic excrutiating toothpain.  Having said that, the dental offices have been very careful, only accepting emergencies, masks, distancing, taking your temperature, questionnaires for patients to sign, etc....

 

Now that things are re-opening including dental offices, I would not be concerned.  They take many precautions.
