In the last five weeks I have had a checkup, an extraction and a filling.Dentist and nurse were in full PPE.However I did ask Dentist if she had had a covid test and she said no which I was a little worried about ;I thought in her line of work she probably should get herself tested. Anyway all fine and in February I have two visits to the hygienist to look forward to ?

I would like to ask if many of you have had dental treatment
during any of the lockdowns.?
I wanted to have a routine check-up fairly soon but have not been in pain.
I felt confident to go and do this but the Covid consent form has made me feel a bit anxious.
Most of us know that the virus can travel in aerosols.
The form explains that dental treatment can give water spray. This spray can linger in the air for minutes or up to an hour. The spray could give an inherent risk of getting infected. That is why you either sign or not.
I am not sure if I want a check up now.
What do others think?
