I never really thought about it till my wife told me she closes her eyes. My whole life i have always kept my eyes open. I just look at the ceiling until the dentists face is in the way, then I kind of look through him. The thought never occurred to me to close my eyes, but now that my wife says she closes her eyes, I feel maybe my dentist, and his assistants may think I'm a freak and assume I'm gazing into their eyes.

I wear glasses so stuff in the eyes isn't a problem, and I have had dentists provide safety glasses too. So stuff in the eyes aside, would it seem weird if one kept his or her eyes open?

Ok spongebobroger, maybe since you are a dental heigenist, you can let me know approx how many patients close their eyes and how many keep them open, and which is male or female. Thanks sponge.

If you don't have safety glasses, better close your eyes, because sometimes stuff flies and you don't want it to hit your eyes.
But if you have safety glasses, then you can keep them open. Some dentists even have a T.V. or DVD player that you can watch.

whilst i'm getting my hair decrease, mutually as the stylist is washing my hair or gets in front of my ears, I save my eyes closed, just to maintain hair/shampoo/water out of my eyes. in any different case, I save them open as a manner to make particular that she does what i prefer her to and, if I observe some thing that i think of ought to look extra helpful and that's not too previous via alter it, then i will make that request. whilst i'm on the dentist, I save my eyes open as much as i will whilst i'm no longer hyperventilating.

I close my eyes because I can't bear to watch sharp pointy things heading for my mouth or any other part of my body for that matter.
I just keep my eye firlmy closed and try to relax.

some people like to see what we are doing, but i like it better when people keep their eyes closed b/c if something does splatter we can wipe it off instead of it possibly flinging in their eye.

I close my eyes because they are literally so "in your face" that I feel kinda awkward

Close my eyes. I don't want to see anyone, and I certainly don't want errant saliva or tooth particles flying into my eyes.
