Dentists before starting any operative procedure like extraction, needs to check the blood pressure of the patient. when indeed needs a stethoscope.

Even though Joints sound inspection is done with stethoscope, so to inspect the TMJ ( Temporomandibular Joint) Dentists need a stethoscope.

Really? I've had a few extractions & fillings, all under local anaesthetic, and at no time did the dentist measure my blood-pressure or listen to my heart or joints. And a stethoscope does the latter - listens. It does not measure blood-pressures.
