The question of whether or not dentists weigh their patients is a common one. The answer is typically no, dentists do not routinely weigh their patients. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, some dentists may weigh their patients if they are concerned about their weight or if they are providing nutritional counseling. Additionally, some dental offices may have scales available for patients to use if they wish to weigh themselves.
There are several reasons why dentists typically do not weigh their patients. First, weighing patients is not typically necessary for providing dental care. Second, weighing patients can be a sensitive issue for some people, and dentists want to avoid making their patients feel uncomfortable. Finally, weighing patients can take up valuable time that could be better spent on providing dental care.
