Going dentist whilst sick...

[Bexii]

This is pretty much as the title suggests. I've come down with a cold and am currently at the stage where life sucks and I'm feeling sorry for myself.

The problem?

I've got a dentist app on Monday for couple of fillings.
Can I go in for it or should I phone and cancel? The obvious would be to cancel because I don't want to spread germs plus what if I want to sneeze?
I had to cancel my last appointment too and don't want to miss another unless unnecessary.

So what is the procedure...?

Sorry you're feeling lousy. Feel better soon...

Dentists are used to people canceling for all kinds of reasons, so don't worry about that. Getting a filling while you have a cold isn't really a problem (if, say, you're in pain and need to be taken care of), but both you and the dentist will probably have an easier time if you wait until you're not in the thick of a cold and spreading germs around.

See how you feel on Monday, and if you're still miserable, don't hesitate to call and reschedule.
