Contracted during dental appointment

I had a dental appointment for a filling and I have since been unwell and have tested positive. I was assured that all procedures are followed.

I emailed the dentist and she says she was told to isolate day after I met her but not on the day of appointment. I wonder if she should have informed me as she could have been an asymptomatic carrier. Isn't it her duty to inform those she came in contact with if she has been told to isolate? She has tested negative but I tested positive and she is not informing anyone nor is she using the test and trace app. Is this right according for rules? I have since installed the app and filled up all the tracing information.

Parking is paid via app even in non covid times. We don't need to touch the button just know the code on the parking machine. Yes I am in tier 4 so it could have been anyone in the building itself. That's the only place I have visited since lockdown. Shopping has always been wiped down, or washed.

PCR tests have a high false negative rate, especially in the early days of the infection.

With the timeline you've given I would suspect your son was asymptomatic and you caught it from him.
