Go see your dad: It is ok to go and visit your dad at the hospital .What about patients who get their teeth pulled at the hospitals ? It is quite ok to go to the hospital after pulling your teeth .Just follow post surgical instructions given to you by your dentist.

Yes, safe: Please go see your Dad. Make sure you wash your hands before and after the visit. Keep your fingers out of your mouth. and schedule with your Dentist to have the missing tooth replaced. Wish your Dad a speedy recovery.
