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.
