In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are wondering whether they need to wear a mask at the dentist. The answer is yes, it is generally recommended to wear a mask at the dentist, even if you are vaccinated. This is because dental procedures can create aerosols, which are tiny particles that can carry viruses. Wearing a mask can help to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses.
There are a few exceptions to this rule. For example, you may not need to wear a mask if you are having a dental procedure that does not create aerosols, such as a filling. However, it is always best to check with your dentist beforehand to see if they require you to wear a mask.
