Over the years, dentists have developed new ways to make patients more comfortable as well as keeping them safe. One of the smartest decisions is the usage of protective eyewear. The glare of this bulb is intentionally bright so that the dentist can see into the deepest recesses of your mouth. You may think that dentists ask you to wear glasses to shield you from the overhead light, and while that’s certainly part of it, it’s not the whole picture.
Your dentist also understands that fluids fly out of your mouth and into the air. Whether you’re getting a cleaning or something more serious, the contact of a dental tool with your teeth and gums regularly causes a splash, and you don’t want any of those fluids getting in your eyes.
Similarly, you don’t want to be on the receiving end of a sneeze or cough from a dental employee. Since you’re in a sitting position, your dentist or hygienist is always above you. If they sneeze or cough unexpectedly, their fluids are likely to hit you in the face, which makes the protective eyewear and masks a good idea. Of course, fluids aren’t the only concern. Some of the dental tools are heavy, sharp, or both. Should a worker drop one, you need the safeguard to make sure you don’t suffer eye damage.
