DJ Khaled ended his three and half month home quarantine to visit his dentist. What was extra ordinary about his visit was that he was dressed in a complete hazmat suit for the procedure.

The 44 year old DJ did not want to take any chances! He was following complete lockdown since the pandemic was declared. "I'm on my way to the doctor's office. There's still a pandemic out here, so I ain't playing no games. I'm going to be safe," Khaled said. He shared a video from his dentist’s car parking area which showed him wearing gloves before dressing up in the suit.

He pointed out that he took an appointment with his dentist in order to address the excruciating pain he had due to his root canal treated tooth. The same tooth had been bothering him since 15 years.
