    TL;DR: Can anyone recommend a dentist in Harford or Carroll County who doesn't require patients to wear a mask?

    I know this is a strange question to ask on a gun forum, but due to the censorship of social media companies (let alone the typically left-leaning userbases) I don't really know where else to ask this question.

    Anyway, I need to find a new dentist, as a few months ago I was refused service by my previous dentist in Towson unless I wore a mask in his waiting room. Since I steadfastly believe that masks have nothing to do with safety and everything to do with compliance (and maybe showing solidarity with a certain political movement) I declined to put a mask on and left his office.

    If someone has a dentist that they can recommend, I would greatly appreciate it. Since Baltimore County just reinstated their mask mandate, I'll need to go out-of-county for service now, so somewhere in/near Bel Air or Westminster would be ideal.

    Thanks in advance

    Well in MD it is a Maryland state dental association requirement to have masks until you’re on the chair and the staff tells you to remove it. That requirement has yet to be removed. They have yet to list all the extra requirements that they put onto them just after they allow them to open their offices back up in the summer of 2020

    You may find an office that’s not doing this but that means they won’t be in compliance. Just ask yourself what else they are not in compliance with. Reusing instruments not cleaning stuff etc.

    I begrudgingly admit that while cloth face coverings do nothing, surgical masks probably impart significant benefit, and N95/KN95 do very well. That’s the science. The real science.

    This is new information to me - thanks for sharing. I assumed that the only gangsters that doctors have to report to were the ones at the Department of Health, but I guess I was wrong.
