What did he have done.. The dental office is one of the least likely places in the world that he would get covid Ask the doctor if he has tested negative or if he has been fully Vaccinated.. If it was Covid then most likely he got it somewhere else

One symptom does not a diagnosis make. His runny nose is more probably due to a cold, the flu (especially if he didn't get a flu shot), seasonal allergies, among other possibilities. Statistically one of the safest places on earth, because of Universal Precautions, is a Dentist's office. If you are concerned, ask your Dentist or Physician to order a Covid test.
