Tooth or consequences: Even during a pandemic avoiding the dentist can be bad for your oral health

Yes and yes on this ! Go. Haven't been for 10 months and time to go. Oral health is really important.

I visit my dentist on my regular check up and it's fairly safe....

Everyone should go at least once a year for a check up. I think some people don’t go because they don’t have the money.

Remember, be true to your teeth, or they will be false to you.

I am usually diligent about dental appointments but am worried about one next week. I plan to call the dental office and request the tech use both an N95 face mask and a face shield or I will cancel my appointment. My last appointment six months ago the tech only wore a surgical mask and no goggles. That is not enough considering the more virulent strains of Covid present today and the generally higher infection rates prevalent.
