So about that dental work I've been procrastinating for several years because I was just starting to look for a dentist when Covid happened and then, well, there was always something more urgent. I might have procrastinated too long.
I did that.
I am still doing that. We’re making progress but then I keep putting off appointments until I can get my next vaccination because I’m really not comfortable unmasking when fully vaxed let alone between shots.
If you've got a decent dentist and can haul a HEPA filter in and ask them to set it up to run that morning...? (Might help. Couldn't hurt. Our dentist has HEPA filters but doesn't always have them running. 😞 Still, I can turn 'em on!)
Honestly, my dentist is one of the better ones about this stuff. I already make my appointments for first thing in the morning, and they have a HIPAA filter there, and most of the mask correctly. Since it’s not an emergency, I’d rather just wait until I’m vaccinated.
And I have been in three or four times since late 2021, it’s not like I’m avoiding it all together. Just. Delaying care whenever I realize an appointment doesn’t play nicely with my vaccination schedule.
Yeah, I shoved things out a few months to try to hit a "it was lower last year around this time" date when I realized levels were high around my original date.
