Timeslip for your bedsock

Is it me or are dentists slowly acquiring more and more protective gear?
I remember, back through the mists of time, space, reality and fish fingers back when I were a lad. The dentist used a club to remove teeth and jumped into your mouth without so much a hint of rubber gloves.
My dentist today had a full face mask (maybe she heard I was coming) that reminded me of a welding mask and of course the obligatory latex gloves.
What will it be next? Darth the dentist in full bio hazard outfit and breathing regulator?

Tangentally; thanks to scy11a and drpyrojames for a lovely meal last night, despite my fear of a green vegetable and loathing of all things fungal it was all very tasty. Yum. Also nice to find someone who appreciates good vodka :)
