Would you go to the dentist during this in Texas?

I had my teeth cleaned yesterday and so far so good.

How many people do you personally and actually know that have been infected with covid-19 or Sars-Cov-2? 

I don't know of even one single person. My primary care physician is in his mid 70s and has tons of patients, and he always accepts new patients, and he has only seen 2 people that had it but were already recovered. I also have several close family members who work in the medical field and they say that all of the news about it and statistics and numbers published about it is a bunch of BS. Not that the virus is a hoax, it is real and there are cases, but the reality of the actual number of cases there are that real people who work in the medical field know about and have treated vs the numbers on every resource reporting the numbers is drastically different. 

There are almost no cases in my local hospitals but media resources report 100s of new ones every day. 

A dentits office is one of the safest places you can go. It's much safer in a medical office like that than it is going to a grocery store amongst hundreds to thousands of people who have also been or are there, too. In reality we're taking more of a risk contracting a virus touching a door knob, light switch, stair railing, fuel pump gun to pump gas into your vehicle, number pads at store checkouts, or shopping cart than we are by visiting a clean and sterile medical office. A piece of plastic over a card reader's number pad is absolutely no form of protection. A virus can cling to that plastic that's almost never wiped off the same way it will hang on to anything else. A plastic barrier is a surface just like any other surface.

A lot of the things a lot of places of business are doing 'to prevent the spread' is actually not helping at all. Not even a little tiny bit. A surface is a surface. Shared surfaces should be being wiped off with alcohol or some form of disinfectant every single time a person touches it. Gloves should be thrown out (in to bio-hazard containers) and replaced with new ones every single time they're used to handle, manage, or touch something. 

That is how they're meant to be used. People wearing the same pair of gloves and the same mask all day long every day is not at all any form of protection. 

All facts. 

Go to the dentist if you need to. Those kinds of places are making and taking a much better effort at preventing the spread of a virus (any virus) than any other businesses are that are general public like grocery stores and gast stations. Grocery stores are very likely a very high risk of getting an illness. They always were, actually.
