Visiting the Dentist

[Bizdustry.com]

Until recently, I have been overdue my dental examination by 6 months and have experienced some receding of my gums. I called them and asked to book an appointment as soon as the surgery re-opened. When I arrived, they asked me to wait outside and when it was time, they took my temperate and made me sanitize my hands before seeing my dentist.

Has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted your dental check-ups?

Pretty much the same for my local office in getting in, thankfully my appointments happened before covid hit and my office opened just in time for my next one.

Also everything is more expensive now.. huge mess

I haven't seen the dentist in 4 years. When I was 21, I had 8 wisdom teeth pulled from a surgeon that my dentist referred me to. When I came back to the dentist office, he removed the stitches and 3 more teeth that my wisdom's rotted from trapping food that couldn't be removed with floss or a brush. When I was 22, I had veneers put in which my family paid for. I've never had to have them changed out, or broken one, and they're past their life span.

I'm sorry, what? The most a person should only have is 4, maybe they grow back if you're really unlucky but 8?

Yeah, they said it was really uncommon. I'm just glad they're out.

I hate the dentist. I go every 6 months for a checkup but I always dread the visit. COVID has sort of saved me a bit with this because we haven't been able to go to the dentist for a while now and won't be able to for a couple of months more ?

I was due for a dental clean-up but was cancelled to the situation were in. Although, I am still waiting to hear back from them on when they've set a date.

Those are my exact words i fear the dentist, i try to avoid it as much as i can but when the time comes for checkup there is no escaping, i just dread the equipment's that glare at your eyes when you get in.

I was actually scheduled for an appointment but it came when covid had just hit, so i will have to reschedule for one and i am just dreading.

Yeah, we can't book an appointment with the dentist and it is very annoying at the moment. It has been way too long now since I last visited the dentist.

Yeah, I need a good clean and all. I also now have my actual dentist appointment approaching, so I'd assume that's always cancelled but I'd need to call to find out.
