9. Although it's quite difficult, sometimes you just have to go even during a crisis.

I got a big chip in my back molar in April when everything was shut down. It took me 3 weeks to find a dentist that would see me and then another week waiting for an auth. before they'd do the work. The dentist was appalling, didn't take care of me right and filled the dead tooth so I got an infection a few days later. I wouldn't go back to him for anything, he kept talking about how he couldn't wait for things to open so he could permanently ditch the mask and tht CV19 is a hoax. Seriously, he said that! So then it took 2 weeks to find another dentist willing to fix the mistake of the first dentist, and another week afterwards to get the root canal done. It's been 3 weeks and the 2nd dental office closed. More hassle, but the 3rd dentist finally agreed to take over all my dental care & I have an appt for the missing crowns (tooth has big hole in it right now, boo) next week. Damn good thing I have a fairly good immune system!
