Weak Bones And Insufficient Dental Maintenance Had Affected My Teeth

I am worried about getting another teeth problem now with regards to it getting pain and infections. So I am praying that my teeth would hold until the lockdowns are lifted up so I can finally go to a dentist. It is not that easy to go to the hospitals now as they are requiring CoViD tests which are not cheap and then you have to get some chest X-Ray as well which again will or might cause me some problem because the impressions are always bad saying that I have either pneumonia or TB.

Right now there are only certain areas where the lockdowns are relaxed but in my area since there are still CoViD cases here in my province we are still in a strict lockdown mode, the so-called "Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine" where most businesses are shut, public transport are not allowed, most especially clinics are not operational like in dentist's clinics.

The modified enhanced community quarantine when eased-up will be called general community quarantinewhere it will get more normal for people to go around but it might extend or worse go back to ECQ. All the types of lockdowns permits some clinics to operate but with some strict rules to follow like to do online consultation first or make an appointment and with the patient accompanied by younger the age 60 and not by elderly which includes my parents both of which are past 70 years of age although both of them are still strong.

I do not know how I can be accommodated in such clinics such as dental clinic because of my current health status. But certainly I have to consult with my Nephrologist maybe before going to the dentist. But there is a dental clinic in a village near here that might have a relaxed rule so I might inquire there first after the lockdown had been eased-up here in my place.

Now I am just praying that my teeth would hold. They had been rotting because of my inadequate dental hygiene due to my inability to go to the bathroom to brush them when my gums were bleeding in the times that my facial bone is deforming.

I know that I shouldn't had stopped brushing my teeth but the bleeding really had made me paused for more than a year because at that time whenever I brushed my teeth it is just disgusting to see the gums bleed and it scared me and now it had lead to rotting.

My plan is to have some of my unusable teeth to get removed and if they can be repaired then I will just have to go to that route based on the decision of the dentist. Now even my teeth are a deep concern and it just worries me that if one would get painful then that will be another bad history of my life. May God help me.
