I wanted to get my tooth extracted. So I visited dental college today. So the interin gave me some medicine and asked me to bring her gloves on the date of extraction. I am confused about the gloves. There are several surgical gloves out there. Which ones shoud I buy? Any brand recommendations?
Thanks in advance for the help :)

Gloves used by a dentist are latex surgical gloves.
Certain doctors may be allergic to latex. They would prefer to use latex free nitrile gloves.
The correct size of the gloves is very important for the ease of the doctors work so please ask before buying

Surgical gloves are made of latex or nitrile and come in different sizes. Usually Clinics keep their own gloves. Check the size with your dentist and get accordingly. They are sterlized and sealed do don’t open the packet. Different brands are available. Check with a chemist
