Showing Original Post only (View all)Has anyone gone to the dentist in 2020? [View all]

I just had a tooth break off and am freaking about the need to go to the dentist. Before 2020, I was regular every six months with my cleanings but skipped everything in 2020. I'm really feeling scared about going to have it taken care of, as I can't imagine how they keep you safe re COVID. There's no pain, just feels like a giant crater in my tooth!
UPDATE:
Thank you all. I was looking for the encouragement and reassurance you've given here.
I didn't plan not to go have this taken care of and feel easier about doing so now.

Exactly, that was the feeling I got. They are not messing around, not taking any chances.

Twice. They are very careful. You wait in the parking lot until they're ready.
