Do you have to wear your hair up to be a dental assistant?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

The place where I go has over five assistants that I've seen and sometimes they wear it up sometimes not, I think it's just a personal preference. Bcz this girl that has hair to the middle of her back and I was there 4 days ago and she had it down and then I went back 2 days ago she had it up.

Just got braces on :(

There is no law that says you have to wear your hair up or that you have to wear a hairnet.

Remember that the mouth is not a sterile environment. That's why we don't gown up for dental procedures. It's sort of gross but the mouth is almost like the beginning of your sewer system. There are many, many types of bacteria present in the oral cavity.

I am a dentist

the woman that i saw working there some have there hair up and some don't like the short haired woman and there this 1 girl who has long blonde hair and she don't wear her hair up.. so it might depend on the place

It depends on the employer. But I can see how it makes sense to wear your hair up. You are around sterile equipment all day and some people loose a lot of hair.

It depends on the employer, but most offices I've come across do ask that you have your hair pulled back.

it all depends on where you work,
