I suppose you can't blame your earlier dentists, though. How were they supposed to know? And if they automatically treated redheads differently, would that be racism?

    It's not racist to treat patients differently when you're talking about how likely they are to react to drugs. Children/teens tend to become bewildered and/or violent when waking up from anesthesia. It's not ageist to prepare for a worse case scenario by calling all hands on deck to hold them down to prevent injury.
