Wearing a hospital gown at dentist office

They should start requiring paitents to get undressed and wear a hospital gown when they come in for teeth cleanings or fillings. It makes it more sterile and keeps the paitent submissive.

No, going to the dentist does not need any undressing. It would not make sense because your dentist just looks in your mouth but your mouth is the danger to your dentist because of coronavirus.

No reason for it. Would add unnecessary time needed for each patient and add cost for cleaning or purchasing disposable gowns.

Even when I had oral surgery to remove my wisdom teeth I stayed in street clothes the entire time.

I too had my wisdom teeth out and was put under but all in street clothes. I don't think putting a gown on is s procedure that would get any support in the dental community. It's fun to think about though

Some oral surgery offices do ask patients to put on gowns when they use general anesthesia. I still had my street pants, but not my shirt.

I’ve heard of this being done in oral surgery, but even then, it’s not common. However, one of the things I enjoy about dental “play” is how you can change little things like the patient’s attire to make the scene more interesting, so I would love to do a dental play with a hospital gown.

I think dental role play in a gown would be wonderful
