When I got there and said I was healthy and I didn't need a mask, they told me I had to wait outside. So I left. And when they called me to say they were ready I went off and called them out for discrimination. Fuck them.
Update: I filed a complaint with their national website, received a call a little while ago about it, and got nowhere with the person on the other end of the line. At least I got another chance to bitch about how stupid it is that I was being discriminated against for being healthy.
Wow, crazy timing with this post because I HAD a dentist appointment for tomorrow, but I called a couple nights ago (after hours) and left a message on their answering machine that had to cancel because I don't wear a mask. I said that hopefully I can return sometime in the future when the world regains some common sense.
The only time I've ever worn a mask is while flying, and at the dentist, but I can no longer make those exceptions. I will not participate in this hoax, even for the short time of walking from the waiting room to exam room.
I had to wear one today for about 30 seconds as I walked from the hall into the dental chair room. Even that was intolerable. But I needed to finish my root canal. You can't get these "medical people" to buck the system. They are all in.
