Is it disrespectful to go to the dentist in flip flops?

Don't forget to floss as well. I'm a sweet fanatic so my homecare is very important. To me flip flops anywhere is now no big deal for me.

 

I can't for the life of me imagine why flip flops would be disrespectful.

 

Whether it's seen as disrespectful or not will depend on your dentist. But the dentist's job is to take care of your oral health, and some of what they do can cause pain. So speaking personally, I wouldn't take the risk of irritating the dentist even slightly. If you really need ten minutes for the novocain to take effect, or deserve a thoughtful explanation of treatment choices, I think you don't want a dentist who can't wait to get you out of their office because of your footwear, no matter how unreasonable that attitude might be. Purely practical considerations.

 

I exist and appear as I am. They do their job and get paid. Who cares? I know they don't. Get over it. Life is too short.

 

It's not "professional" Or some such tripe.

 

But as long as they brush and floss, so no 5's when probing each tooth.

 

I am scared to go to dentist.

I am scared if I get that one tooth pulled or fixed due to the war on pain pills I will be sent home and told to take Motrin / Advil for the pain.

It doesn't work when that tooth did hurt awake all night I probably gave my self liver damage taking Advil so many tablets that night "just one more" this pain is killing me.

 

My dentist just said she liked my painted toes.

 

Ya'll overthink stuff. I showed up to my colonoscopy in flip flops . Who gives a damn?

 

Of course it's disrespectful. Disrespectful to your feet! You should just be going barefoot.

 

I don't know how about you guys, but I absolutely hate the noises made by the dentists' apparatus, so I always remove my hearing aid to avoid discomfort and anxiety.

 

Intrestin.

 

No! Why would it be disrespectful to go in flips anywhere??

 

Yes, he doesn't really care what you bring because his main goal is to cure your teeth.

 

Been to the dentist many times barefoot. Going Thursday let you know how it goes

 

Yes, he doesn't really care what you bring because his main goal is to cure your teeth. So don't worry about it, my friend. It's better to worry about your money because the prices at dentists are very high now I'm telling you this as a person who works as a pharmacy technician and has dentist friends. As far as I know, California is the top-earning state with an average salary of $45,200. And therefore, I will soon move to this state. If someone knows which city is best to move to, where can I rent a property cheaper? And about your question in general, I will say that don't worry, doctors don't care.

 

I go to the VA in flips. They damn sure don't care!

 

California also has a high tax burden and it’s cost of living is much higher than other states. You may find yourself on the short end of the stick. Do lots of research before you pull up stakes and relocate

 

I went to the dentist Friday it was 38F and raining I went barefoot and I was surprised no one said anything.
