Sure. But people like dentists do wear them pretty much all the time because that's how it's done. At least here where I live. Not a big deal I think. I'm not that bothered by the mask/respirator when I wear it either. (though I agree it might be annoying to wear it all day)

Yeah, because they're hovering directly over a gaping open mucous membrane. A) they don't want to potentially get any sort of nasty shit that flings off of the teeth during cleaning in their eyes or mouth. B) they don't want to potentially spread something to their patients by breathing right all up in there.
