One of the worst parts of sitting in a dentist’s chair is the bright light. Dentists have to use high-powered lamps. Otherwise, they couldn’t see inside the darkest portions in the back of your mouth. Though it’s necessary, this bright light creates a different problem. The patient has to stare straight into this light, which magnifies the tension in an already stressful situation.
Many dentists use a solution that even addresses a secondary concern. Dentists ask their patients to wear coloured glasses. The idea is to block out the glaring light from the lamp. The side benefit is that these glasses offer protection against clumsy hands and flying fluids.
Dentists use tools to fix your teeth, and sometimes these tools or other things fall from their hands. The glasses protect eyeballs from falling objects. Also, a dentist’s visit includes the occasional fluid. You’re spitting, tools are rubbing against your teeth, and people occasionally cough or sneeze. The glasses make sure that none of these flying fluids get in your eyes.
