I should have gone before to the dentist but I dread to go out in this city. Cases are mounting in spite of the vaccines.
I´m wondering if I should go anyway or if I should wait 20 mores days until the second dose has given me more immunization. Probably I could ask the dentist too.
Have you had special problems because you don´t dare go out now?

Yes, same problem with my son when he had a toothache. Good thing I found a dentist just outside the village entrance and the dentist is a village resident like me and they do not accept adult with covid test unless the patient came from the inside the village. So far, our village do not have a case of covid.

Great, that your village is not effected by Covid. It is very rare these days.

Toothache is actually a gum problem. Try prolonged mouthwash - 3 minutes or longer. A paracetamol could be a pain reliever. Try one.
My dentist dresses in full battle gear - including helmet for face protection. Not difficult to make appointment with her.
Call your dentist and ask for further measures to relieve you of pain.

My toothache is because a filling came off. The oain is not so bad actually. And my problem is not how the dentist dresses but how to get there.

@marguicha I see. Hope you can have an arrangement with someone to bring you to the dentist safely then.

Haven't gone out in a long while. The cases here in Manila are spiking.

@LadyDuck I agree. At least you have the company of your husband.

No. I go to the dentist and Primary Care Physician (PCP) when I am scheduled to go.

@LindaOHio The trip to and from the dentist could be more expensive than the dentist itself.

Thank goodness no problems for me. Maybe you could call your Dentist and explain the problem and they could send your prescription to the pharmacy you use and you could have it sent to you through the mail. That's how they are doing it here. You pay through your phone and they send the prescription so you don't have to go to the pharmacy.

It is not a matter of prescription here. One of my fillings came out so I need an X ray and then check what´s going on.

i haven't had such problems, thank God.
and i think you should wait, or try home made "cures" for tooth ache.

@marguicha the virus is evolving and showing its different forms, so one should not go outside from their home for unnecessary reasons.
