Questions for Dental Hygiene Students and Hygienist?

1. why do you wear those gowns.
2. are your teeth cleaner than normal during program.
3.why do practice you on each other.
4. do you take any of the safety practice from school to the field like in school wearing safety glasses and mask to just mask and gloves.

Suggestion:

Wow, I'm a dentist and hope your answers come back on the healthier end of things.
1.In my office, yes, we all wear gown. Who wants all that crud flying onto your clothes?
2. Most people working in a dental office take better care of their teeth (most, but not all)
3. We don't "practice" on each other, but every once in a while, someone gets their teeth cleaned by someone else.
4. Glasses and/or face shield, mask, gloves. Saliva in your eye is considered the same as a needle stick injury
