@evan "still have" implies I originally had. In a quandary as to how to answer for body parts never part of me?

That’s what I thought. Right up until I walked in to our most recent appointment to find him barefaced and smiling. It was so unexpected that I didn’t walk straight back out -

It's also completely wild that a good* dentist would see patients unmasked and be flippant about COVID risks.*One who I found by accident, but immediately respected for the way he clearly kept up with the research practised evidence based dentistry. Discussed pros and cons of treatment options fully and honestly and a wizard at tricky extractions. Started teaching part time at the uni shortly after starting to practice. Humorously scathing about anti fluoride campaigners

My clinic rang the night before and asked me to reschedule my hygienist appointment later in the day so they didn't have to open so early, but accepted my refusal in good grace. Plucking up the courage to be more demanding before the checkup with the dentist who shocked me by taking less precautions than he did pre-covid last time I saw him. Hence my resolve to dentist shop. Shame yo lose the lovely hygienist though. -

If you cannot find a covid safe environment (I still haven't got round to dentist shopping) you may at least be able to find one who will schedule you as first patient of the day. Take good masks and ask the staff to wear them?
