Love These Cool Shades…Why Do I Need Them?
We at Lund Dental now ask our
patients to wear protective eye wear during all procedures. The common question asked is “these are nice
but why must I wear them”? There are
several reasons but mostly for the patient’s comfort and safety.
All clinicians at Lund Dental wear
safety glasses and now all patients as well. During any procedure, there are
many facets that could cause injury to the patient in the chair. The handpiece itself sprays air and water, putting
articles into the air that may go into the patient’s eyes. Also, many different materials are used, some
passed over the patient, that could be harmful.
By wearing the safety glasses, we are eliminating any possibility of
something entering our patient’s eyes.
On another note, the glasses are
comforting to the patient. The doctors
have bright lights on their glasses and the overhead lamp can shine into the
patients eyes. The dark glasses alleviate this.
Also, many find that they are relaxing to wear.
Our patients’ comfort and safety is
first and foremost in our practice. At Lund Dental, we make our patients’experiences first and foremost.
