Hello this is a very serious decision should be taken by you .covid is a virus which going to be there for a while and its a pandemic now. So its not the dental office which is prone to it but all public places where you visiting is. If you are following the home lockdown very seriously then you may follow that. But just for dental offfice if your are planning to avoid the visit then it does not justify, dental proffestionals are the most trained in sterlization protocol. This mask and gloves were always a part of dentistry dental office are trained with all sterlization protocol. With safe social distancing and enquring your dentist the change of working pattern will assure you to take the call. Ask appoinment during a early morning. You may ask for an appoinment when no other patient is overlapping. Be on time. Stay in car not in waiting area. Ask your dentist to use disposables items maximum. Request your dentist to provide extra care which will be charged at few extra dimes which you should not be worried of. For further expert comments and covid related precaustion use my code tb0604
