I went yesterday to my dentist for my 4 month cleaning. As others have posted, every precaution was taken.
I didn't even recognize my hygenist under all the PPE.
I felt safe and was glad they were able to reopen in time for my cleaning.

I have an emergency dental last week and I was the only client there. Everyone was wearing a mask, as usual for them, and chairs in the waiting area were blocked. Today, I am seeing an endodontist and I am hoping that we can get everything taken care of today.
I do feel that many of the things that doctor offices are doing today is something that, for the most part, should have been done all along.

Argh... Finally got there yesterday. Everything was arranged so that my only person to person contact was with the dentist.
I NEVER allow myself to be TOUCHED without being heavily dosed with Novocain, and in the interest of time I BRAVELY PERMITTED MYSELF TO BE DRILLED with NO pain relief WHATSOEVER. Sugar Free Lollipopfor me.
The tooth feels GREAT.

@BunSnoop I was told I would be asked to gargle with hydrogen peroxide, I don't want to gargle, but rinse would be okay, is that what you rinsed with?

I have mine on 22nd & I am planning to put it off as well. After today's news about a spike, I will just floss away. With 100K+ deaths & a grim predicted death rate for round 2 I won't be seeing a dentist/doctor for a non essential visit anytime soon. It's the new reality we have to live with!

@BunSnoop That is an impressive list!
My dentist is charging $30 or $35 extra, can’t recall which. I won’t be going unless I have a dental emergency. Luckily, my teeth stay clean so I really don’t need to go for a cleaning.

You're a brave soul.

I had a dental appt. today that was rescheduled from March 25th to today, due to the pandemic. It was with a different hygienist than my normal one, but my next appt in Dec. will be back with my usual one. She asked me a bunch of questions & took my temp & vitals (BP & heart rate), which I've never had done at the dentist before. She did x-rays & cleaned & sanitized the lead coverings afterwards when she hung them back up on their hanger & then she did a manual scaling & said they aren't using something called a Cavitron right now, because it aerosolizes the water, but other than that, it seemed like a fairly normal appt. My dentist came in & did an exam when the hygienist was done with the cleaning & that was it.

I am going for a routine visit this week. I was almost tempted to cancel it but I have a friend from college that has been a dentist for years. She mentioned to me, that heck if they are following the guidelines it is about the safest place to be. So I will keep the appt. I hope the price doesnt' go up. I don't have dental insurance.

For what it is worth on anyone trying to decide to go or not to go, I saw mine early Sunday morning at the Walmart checkout. He was not wearing a mask, nor was I. Told him I would see him in August for my next scheduled cleaning. Made me wonder how many medical providers take precautions outside of work?
