The dental profession involves many health risks for the dentist, dental assistant, nurse, and radiology technician. These risks include:
- Musculoskeletal disorders, due to improper positions that the dentist is forced to take during treatment, which harms the skeleton and muscles in the long run
- Infection from patients
- The dangers of the dental clinic environment such as noise, artificial lighting, psychological and social pressures, and dental materials that the dental practitioner can touch or inhale, which sometimes leads to sensitivity or poisoning [13]
