People generally don't enjoy going to the dentist, and from the dentist's point of view, canceled appointments is a big problem. They might charge you for the time, but it's almost always a problem affecting their income and schedule for the day.
However, during the Time of Corona, you are acting like a brave and courageous hero by staying home and not going to the dentist.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
