Hello,

Yes , and it is rather necessary to have stethoscope. One might why but there are many reasons for it like :

• In first year it is required for measuring blood pressure in physiology lessons.
• Before tooth extraction the blood pressure is recorded in oral surgery.
• It is needed in third year of your college as well as during internships.

Hope you got your answer.

Good luck.

Yes dentists do use stethoscope -

1. First used in first year in Physiology lesson when recording blood pressure is taught for the first time.
2. They use is normally in day to day practice during general medicine and surgery rotations.
3. In oral surgery to record blood pressure before tooth extractions.
4. To palpate the temporomandibular joint while examining head and neck.
