being upset about someone scheduling a non-emergency dental appointment

im going to hyperfixate on this example specifically because i otherwise agree completely with this post

problem is that dental problems snowball. you don't get proper dental treatment, it gets worse. so then you need a more expensive and invasive surgery or operation later on

so unless it's literally a routine checkup, i would argue there isn't really such a thing as a "non-essential" dental appointment. this literally only matters to me because my teeth hurt and i don't want them to continue to hurt more

edit: the fact that covid-safe dentists exists means that i am both exonerated and you are more correct. get your teeth cleaned by a non plague rat dentist hexbearites

edit 2: my point is basically that i care about dental hygiene and covid safety and i dont want to trade those off from each other
