What do dentists wear?

Dentists wear:

1. White lab coats: These coats serve as protective clothing and are usually made of cotton or a cotton-blend fabric.

2. Scrubs: Scrubs are comfortable and easy-to-move-in outfits consisting of a top and pants. They are often made of a cotton-polyester blend and come in various colors and patterns.

3. Gloves: Dentists wear disposable gloves made of latex or nitrile to protect themselves and their patients from the spread of bacteria and other microorganisms.

4. Masks: Dentists wear face masks to minimize the risk of transmitting respiratory infections to their patients. Masks also protect dentists from exposure to aerosols and splatter generated during dental procedures.

5. Safety glasses or goggles: Dentists wear safety glasses or goggles to protect their eyes from debris, chemicals, and bodily fluids that may be generated during dental procedures.

6. Lead aprons: Dentists may use lead aprons to protect themselves from radiation exposure during certain procedures like X-rays.
