Do you remember when dentists did not wear gloves??

Question

No, I am not old. I am only 32, but I remember when I was 11 or 12 and had a filling done, no gloves. Some don't believe me but it is true.

Answer 1

Before the spread of AIDS dentists didn't feel it necessary to wear gloves to protect themselves from the spread of blood bourne diseases. Instead they just washed their hands.

Answer 2

No i don't remember that far back. I'm only 26 and they always had gloves on when I went to the dentist. That had to be nasty though. Well I guess back then the world didn't worry about aids and stuff like today. Did his hands taste like soap?

Answer 3

I am 33 and when I was a kid the dentist did not wear gloves or a mask. I remember when he started I thought the taste of the latex was gross but now the thought of someone sticking his hands in your mouth without gloves is really gross.

Answer 4

remember theirs was a woman who got aids from a dentist that is why they do where gloves

Answer 5

I'm 36 and I remember too. To think back on it now makes me feel ill. When I was a kid, we had a dentist who worked in our mouths, stopped to smoke his cigarette then leaned back over to us to finish our work. That's so gross to think about now.

Answer 6

I don't ever remember that but I'm only 18. That sounds pretty strange but I believe you though.

Answer 7

I remember it and I'm 36... my dentist had big hairy hands, yuck.

Answer 8

Yes, I do, but the human race was not so vile and filthy at that time, so you didn't have to worry. You can thank liberals for the deterioration.

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

I was about 12, too. All they did then was wash their hands.
