They do. They just don’t show in it their face.

Well isn’t it part of their job.
Can’t say by personal experience but obviously not a very good sight.
But soon everyone becomes habitual to their job.
One can use mask and gloves for patients’ safety as well as for themselves.

Even though it is part of our job , no dentist want to see a filthy mouth and even after a long practice they don’t get used to it.. I hav seen senior doctors scolding patients who come with unhygienic conditions .. at least when you know you are going to dentist , brush your teeth and and try to keep it neat..

Incentivize the patients by giving them 10% discount if they come after brushing the teeth, flossing and cleaning the tongue.
When patients come without brushing the teeth, flossing and cleaning the tongue- make them pay 50 % extra.
This might work. Just my 2 cents!!

I also felt the same thing when I made my visits to the dentist. But kudos to those who make it going.

Not really, we feel happy for good oral hygiene and feel the lack of awareness in case of poor oral hygiene.
Yes! It’s surprising how some people look good from the outside but have poor oral hygiene. I often take pictures or display their mouths on a monitor to educate them about oral health. However, some people prefer not to see their own mouths. 
Yes we do especially when people come with tobacco in their mouth. I still remember that patient very well.
yes, mainly for patients with cavity and bad breaths!
