IBC 2018 Section 1207 Habitable Spaces 7 feet any direction

Happy New Year
Group B dental offices here. Section 1207.1 Minimum room widths. Habitable spaces shall not be less than 7 feet in any plan dimension. Does a 'habitable space' mean a room with a door? Does it only apply to 'living' spaces? What about offices? What about a recovery room? Group B dental already has workplace employee exemptions in 1104.3.1, so all 'clinical' areas are exempt (because they are employee only) but I don't know what this 7' dimension has to do with Group B.
Any help appreciated!

Well, No, I've never tried that, it doesn't sound possible. . . I hope you never have ANY dental procedures that require that kind of time!
