AIBU to think my dentist was unprofessional about another patient's appearance?

[SpringDreams26]

Went to the dentist today. She is approx 45-50, I’ve been seeing her a few years. When I went in told me she was having a hot flush and I sympathised with her, I’m always happy to talk about women troubles.

Then she told me about her skin care etc, went down a bit of a rabbit hole about her routine etc. Then she said her saw a client last week, who she’d treated for years who told her she didn’t like “taking stuff” which she meant collagen, B12 injections etc. She told me it showed because she had really aged.

AIBU to think shes a bit of a twat? I felt it was extremely unprofessional to comment on another clients aging. She’s a dentist! I don’t consider us friends and obviously said very little with her fingers in my mouth.

For the record - I would like to change dentist, but they all have waiting lists.

Yes she was being a bit of a twat. That’s quite unprofessional. Do they offer Botox and so on at this surgery?

Yeah but not something I’d really be thinking about once I’d left the surgery.

Oh that is a good point! Perhaps she was trying to advertise the practice's services.

But yes commenting on another patient's appearance is definitely unprofessional

No they don’t offer Botox.

Very unprofessional. Have never had any comments like that from a dentist or doctor.

YANBU she should not have been talking about any other clients at all, yet alone mentioning the things she did.

I’ve been to the dentist today. We discussed the best electric toothbrush, the toothpaste she recommends, her children’s school and the difficulty of travel locally, when there are road works, with a main road closed.

My dentist told me I hadn't got much jaw bone shrinkage for my age. And that he has another lady my age who'd had to have a bone graft to have implants so I was doing well. He then went on to tell me she was a smoker though which hadn't helped. I didn't think anything of it as i hadnt the first clue who the woman was. (And too busy preening at my age inappropriate unshrunken jaw to care, truth be told)
