Well, on the upside my usual visits are dental cleanings, and the assistant who works on my teeth for that then always wears gloves and a mask, because obviously gums can bleed quite a bit, and then there is spatter from the cleaning brushes and such. But for my crown for example while my dentist wore gloves when he ground down the tooth for the fitting and while he was drilling and such, but once all that was finished and he came back at the end to just put on the temporary crown, he didn't. I found that odd and thought about asking (especially since I told him I was sick with a fewer when I declined the handshake at the beginning), but when I saw him gloveless I was in the middle of still having been told to keep my mouth open, and then afterward I was relieved the over two hours of dental visit was over, and I had this fewer with the flu that day and felt horrible and not up to starting anything. Somehow it's always something.
I mean, I keep wanting to at least address it because I notice that he's not meticulous to always wear gloves, but then I tend to forget, or it seems really awkward or something. Because in general I quite like my dentist, and am satisfied with his work. OTOH of course I don't exactly fancy catching hepatitis or something from some hand transfer either.
