And EVERYONE has told it to everyone for generations now, which MAKES it low level. This is not a battle worth fighting as it was lost before your grandparents were born and there are numerous other ways we could make society better that would have a lot more impact than your dentist no longer asking what year you were born
Just because a thing has been done in the past does not mean it should be done in the future.
It's also not a "battle". It's not like stopping use of plastic or whatever. Clinics cpuld just stop collecting DoB and use some other attribute.
Or they could just continue doing what works for them and change nothing because almost no one cares because its not worth caring about. When you were born reveals literally nothing else about you
