Please advice me
So my wisdom tooth started erupting a month back so my dentist said let's wait and see how it grows now it has erupted partially and wanted to get it removed but now there are so many covid cases and death in my city so I am really getting paranoid about going out of my house let alone remove my mask in front of dentist. From 1 st may we can get vaccine so I hope I get vaccinated as soon as possible and after that I would visit my dentist. Right now I am rinsing it with salt water and mouthwash brushing two times a day I had a bit discomfort few days back because I bit on the skin flap around my tooth but now I don't have any pain. Please advice I am worried about both getting covid and getting mouth infection

Most of Dentist follow strict protocols of disinfection and sanitization. If your Dentist is following the same and you are having discomfort while eating then please get your teeth removed because salt water gargle and brushing will give you temporary relief, you will get permanent relief only after removal of underlying cause.
And coming to vaccination, you will not immunity against covid 19 as soon as you get vaccinated.
Next Steps
Visit to your Dentist with prior appointment and get your wisdom tooth removed.
Hope it helps.
