I had a crown come off while eating lunch today and called my dentist's office. They said to come in at 8AM tomorrow and call them when I am in the parking lot. They will come out to get me and do the paper work. I don't see how I can wear a mask once the dentist is ready to do her thing. What to expect?

last commentThey’ll take your temp and ask questions about your health. Have you had CoVid ? Symptoms, etc.
If you pass the screening, they’ll take care of you. They’ll wear more protective gear than normal.

Yes, the other day. No one, including the dentist, was wearing a mask until the work started. Surprised me a little

OK. I went this morning at 8am. They came out to my car . then took my temperature and had my give written answers to virus questions. I was then taken directed to the dentist chair. The staff all wore masks except the dentist. She wore a Hazmet suit and complained about hot hot it was to wear. In and out in 30 minutes. they had to unlock the door to let me out. I saw 8 or 10 cars parked in the employee area but mine was the only one in the patient parking area.

My dentist told me that bread is the most common thing to pull off crowns, etc. Seems unlikely but true.

Talk about a profession that is inherently risky! High speed drills and water-based scalers (for cleaning teeth) seem to generate a cloud of aerosol droplets. Hope the procedure worked out OK.

I went for a root canal Monday and except for the temperature taking w/ covid questions and complete lack of any other patients it was a very normal visit for Nevada.
