dentist
I went to the dentist on Sunday, emergency abcess on a tooth...to make the story short after she finish the procedure which was just putting anasthetic and filing the tooth a bit, on the paperwork i found some tiny blood stains, the dentist and the receptionist handled my paperwork, i'm not concerned if the receptionist was bleeding..but my concern is that perhaps the dentist poke herself with the needle or cut herself during the procedure (she was wearing gloves) and didn't notice and continued working on me.. I'm freaking out that she perhaps continued working on me after her cut and exposes me to her blood..should i call her and tell her my concern, or am i just being to paranoid..also there could be a chance that the receptionist was bleeding from a hangnail or something.... should i even worry?
