Hi My lotters, I just got toothache few minutes ago. There's one big hole from previous tooth repair that now make big hole. Last year - 2020, I got this toothaches, so I can not stand anymore, so I went to see dentist. He gave me a temporary repair and asked me to come again one week later. He and his nurse wore a full gown to avoid covid, but they did not put me any proteion except the usual sheet to cover our body (regular one - just like before COVID). Then I got infected a light Covid, so I did not go to dentist anymore. Now, it almost pass 1 year, the temp solution has completely gone and give a big hole, and once a while when there's small piece of food stay there, it hurts so much. What I do is only brush my teeth and do a good time of betadine gargle. it helps reduce the pain. I guess I still traumatic to go to dentist, although some friends gave some recommendation on dentist during this pandemic. I did not go to my regular dentist, as that doctor work in hospital that turn to be Covid hospital, so they did not accept any patient for some doctors including dentist. Anyone of you have an experience with dentist during this pandemic?
