So, I went to the dentist today. A thread. 1/
I have been so conflicted about the safety of going; I& #39;ve rescheduled appointments twice. (We were due back in April). I was treated kindly the first reschedule, then with a bit of grump the second time. IT IS SAFE they said. I still waited a bit. 2/
All of us are fine except one kid who has wisdom teeth causing an issue. With a lot of trepidation, I scheduled visits NOW instead of waiting any longer w/ flu season on the horizon. Still didn& #39;t feel good about it. 3/
Walked in to the office (which is tiny). Waiting room down to 4 chairs w/ some air purifier running. Signs politely "asking you to wear mask if able" (though we& #39;re under a mandate in NC, but okay whatever). 2 of 3 people in room no mask. 4/
We each waited in the car until our turn, instead of the waiting room. Once I got back there it was okay. It appeared my hygienist was wearing 2 masks & a face shield. She was friendly but... 5/
It was very obvious she& #39;s not into Covid. Multiple remarks. 1) We already cleaned good enough. We didn& #39;t change anything. 2) Dentist had someone come in and fix our ventilation 3) We have air purifiers. 4)I 100% believe it& #39;s real BUT I don& #39;t know one person who has had it 6/
Continued statements: 5) It can& #39;t be as serious as they are saying it is cause I don& #39;t know anyone who has actually gotten it 6) I don& #39;t know who to believe 7) This morning my daughter had a really stuffy nose & I sent her to pre-K with Benadryl ... 7/
There was continued discussion about "how serious it really is" and I stopped, paused and said, as best as I can quote: "If you have had the PRIVILEGE of being healthy your whole life or never having chronic illness or disease, then yeah, I guess I could see your point." 8/
