By the time I sat in the waiting room and made it all the way back though, my boits are usually dry. delight on "Do you take your shoes off at the dentist?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-shoes-off-at-the-dentist/page/2#post-2491156 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 20:07:30 +0000 delight 2491156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ In the winter, there is a sign when you come in my dentist's office asking people to take off their wet boots. I don't think it's weird. They have a little basket of those blue Doctor boogie things if you want them.

At LO's doctor, they requested you do the same, but didn't provide footwear. And same with the changerooms at the gym/pool.

I'm in Canada and most places like that (dentist, spa, Doctor) ask to remove boots at the door to prevent snow and slush from making a mess.

Have I had a pedicure recently? (probably not). Yuckkk.

I did have the thought in my head that maybe I should take my shoes off but I ended up just putting the blanket on my legs and not on my shoes. snowjewelz on "Do you take your shoes off at the dentist?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-shoes-off-at-the-dentist#post-2490495 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:26:05 +0000 snowjewelz 2490495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, and never thought to since my shoes won't really tough anything?

(I leave my shoes at the door at my physical therapist's office). But so far, I have never encountered shoes off at the dentist. mediagirl on "Do you take your shoes off at the dentist?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-shoes-off-at-the-dentist#post-2490467 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:20:33 +0000 mediagirl 2490467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ So, there was this one time that I was there for a filling and my shoe kept popping off so I asked the hygienist if it was okay if I took them off. But NO, I do not do it on the regular, I think it's totally weird and I felt so weird taking them off that day but I couldn't handle them.
