Showing Original Post only (View all)Touched A Nerve When I Called A Dental Office Today..... [View all]
My dentist referred me to a specialist to have them perform a tooth extraction.
I called their office today to find out what cautions they are taking with respect this pandemic.
The lady I talked to indicated everyone has to wear a mask. All patients temps will be taken when they arrive at the practice. They have the waiting room arranged so that patients could properly social distance.
I guess I pushed thing too far when I asked if all the personnel at their dental practice were vaccinated. I was told some are and some aren't - just like what's going on outside their office.
I explained to this lady that I'm 73y/o and consider myself high risk. I'm vaccinated but I'm concerned with breakthrough positive Covid.
I immediately sensed a coldness in this lady's voice - like I was threading into territory that I shouldn't be.
Is it too much to ask that employees of a dental office practice all be vaccinated - especially when they are dealing with open mouth tooth extractions?
Did I overstep my bounds?
