When you visit the dentist you would expect 100% hygiene at all times. This didn't happen to me. In general the practice is good, staff polite, respectable & friendly towards their patients. What happened to me on this occasion is the sole reason I have not step foot in that dentist again. Ok. So after the main man reviewed my teeth, leaving my mouth wide open, he walked over to his desk which was about 4 feet away and started using his laptop. This took about 4 minutes. He then came back over to me and was about to use the same glove which he had been using on that dirty laptop and put it back into my mouth. Had I not been Miss observant, he would of done exactly that. Upon noticing this misdemeanor I prompt told, not asked, him he needs to change his glove. I think by his response he wasn't quite expecting my reaction and in a tiny voice, only so that I can hear & not the assistant, said to me "yea I will". Yeah right, if I hadn't of mentioned it he would if proceeded to contaminate my mouth with the bacteria from that disgusting laptop. How many patients has this happened to at his practice? I can get you I'm not the first. Most people wouldn't of said anything but if he's putting my health at risk then it's my responsibility to make him aware of it.
