Contagious illnesses are a different story. When you are sick and could pass along your illness to others, you should think about how your choice impacts them. Obviously though, you might not know if you’re contagious. So, you should make an educated guess based on your symptoms.
Are you coughing or sneezing? You might have a common cold, a virus, or maybe even the flu. You don’t want to infect others. If you’re not currently coughing or sneezing but have done so over the past few days, you might still have a contagious illness, since you can spread the flu to others for a full week.
When you’re contagious, your best bet is to contact the dentist’s office. Ask them about their policy for these situations. They’ll tell you whether they can easily reschedule you for a different date. Alternately, they can offer advice on how to handle the situation while you’re in their office.
