@fiesty76.. I'm in the same boat with you. I need to go to the dentist to take care of some gum problem and have a cleaning. My son in law's dentist has postponed all appointments to August. I read somewhere about dental appointments but I can't find it. It said dental hygienist no longer polish your teeth because of droplets. I'm sure my dentist office will take all precautionary measures but I'm still a little worried. What if the previous patient is sick and the virus is in the air. How can I protect myself? If I do go in the future, I'll want the first appointment of the day. I'm glad I had my cleaning in February, I usually go every 4 months. Oh well, ce la vie!

@mayofeb, When I first called the dentist yesterday, an electronic message came on saying: not a working number. I nearly dropped the phone in shock. My dentist had closed her practice for a few weeks at the start of the covid news so I was afraid she might not have re-opened. Waited and redialed and was so happy to hear the receptionist's voice that I would have probably jumped in the car still wearing p.j.'s if she'd told me to come right in. vbg I go every 6 mos for cleaning and that comes up next month. I did tell receptionist if I needed to come in to please schedule me for a first appointment of the day. Really like that Sue's dentist alternates room use and hope ours and others do that too.
