A visit to the dentist

Less than a month into lockdown a bit of my tooth fell off – a small filling that had been replaced a couple of times. No real drama – just kept it clean.

Finally the big day – the pre-booked visit to have it looked at (and I had hoped repaired). Masked to enter and sit, temperature taken whilist waiting a room with 2 seats: none of this procedure done or recieved with good grace. I can’t stand it.

It turns out the dentist isn;t doing fillings today – nor cleans: no aerosol- making procedures. So she took an xray and decided the tooth would be OK as it is. I can live with that.

I am so glad not to have to be part of the dental world any longer. It must be devastating for practice owners and dental associates alike. What a farce.
