Older dentist chairs had them, and dentists in developing countries still use them. Sip water from a cup, swish it around your mouth, then spit in the small sink. There’s also a small faucet to refill the cup. Always had to do that as a kid when visiting the dentist.
They spray water into your mouth and use a suction tube to remove the water. It does help I think for stuff life fillings because you don’t want water to contaminate the material before it dries out, or get water inside the tooth before it’s sealed. But yeah, you don’t get the satisfaction of being able to wash your mouth.
I hate the current dental setup in the US. They lay you down absolutely flat.Then, they spray water in your mouth, and they never keep up with the suction, and you feel like you’re being waterboarded, because you are being waterboarded.
I’ve gone my entire life never being afraid of the dentist. Even as a child, I wasn’t afraid of the dentist. And now I’m afraid of the dentist.
The dentists act like it’s a huge deal if you tell them you can’t lay all the way completely flat on your back. That’s the most vulnerable position to be in while somebody’s looming over you and waterboarding you.
I’m trying to figure out if they’re doing it on purpose to try to torture us and make us more submissive, I wouldn’t put it past America at this point, our leaders have become so evil. We’re probably going to find out in like twenty years that this was a psy op to torture Americans and see how we would respond.
Just to be clear, I don’t think the dentists are the ones doing this. I think that they’re being taught to do it this way, and manufacturers are making these new tables.

I probably should have just spit the blood on the floor right there in the ER, it might have caught their attention to just how much blood I was losing after the bike accident.
As I was leaving though, I spit the blood in my mouth and emptied the blood tray on their pavement on the way to the car. I really should have done that inside the hospital, because they should have stitched me up right then and there.
Edit: I also spent the next month or so, waking up with my head stuck to my pillow, from dried blood still leaking from my mouth.
What? Sink?
Where’s the suction thingy?

Thanks for the explanation ! I have personally never seen anything like this.

Go touch grass please
Older dentist chairs had spitting sinks and were generally more terrifying.
Maybe some new ones do too. You also need an assistant to operate suction if you’re going that route.
The ones I’ve been to, they just hand you the tool and you do the suction yourself
