Is it safe to visit dentist during this time? Actually i'm concerned about their tools as they use same tools for mouth checkup. And you know this is the tough time. Actually my mom have oral issue. Her gum is swollen and have pain for last couple of days. And she is taking antibiotics and painkillers and a tube for the oral issues prescribed by the doctor online. She's taking the medicine for last 2 days but the swelling is increasing and she's now feeling pain in neck too.

You can pay a visit to your dentist. After proper clinical evaluation he/she will do the needful. Don't worry about their tools. They use different sets of instruments for every patients which are properly sterilized. Don't panic, keep faith on your dentist. Seems that your mom have some infection in the gum, for that she might need a session of oral prophylaxis. Use warm saline mouthwash 3/4 times daily for now. Thanks.

You can go. As per our who protocol and ethical practices we can't use any old instruments. But make sure that you don't have any symptoms like fever throat pain etc. Hence you can visit your nearest dentist for emergency treatment.
