Sometimes. We are in a steel-framed building and the radio reception comes and goes, which is annoying. I have one patient who brings in her own homemade CD to listen to as it helps her relax. We could ask all our patients to bring in music, but as most of them are teenage and younger, I'm not sure I could face trying to fix teeth along to gangsta rap or whatever!
I do a lot of treatment under sedation or hypnosis and music is a no-no in those situations - if the patient should hear the music again whilst say driving a car or riding a bike, they might go into the trance-like state again, which could be highly dangerous.
I daren't risk singing to my patients - my singing breaks mirrors and replacing all the dental mirrors would be too costly![:o)]
