Some use special instruments depending on their area of specialization but there are certain basic tools and gear that all dentists rely on such as scalpels, needles, burs, mandrels, and blades. To protect themselves from infection and debris during dental procedures, they use masks bibs, disposable gloves, face shields and safety glasses.
