Tech Talk With Dr. Cranska – What is Out of the Modern Dental Office?
Q: I have been going to the dentist since I was a child. Im amazed at the changes in dentistry, the dental office and equipment over the last 50 years. What are the biggest changes in dentistry in your lifetime?
A: I have been along for the high-technology changes in dentistry myself. I started going to the dentist as a child in the 1950s and I am still a dental patient. I still remember the disinfectant smells, the belt-driven drills and pump-adjusted dental chairs.
So, what are the biggest changes? Here are my top five answers to what is now in and what is out in the modern dental office.
The advantages of digital radiographs are less radiation exposure to produce the image and immediate graphics, and images can be printed or emailed to specialists or insurance carriers. Also, there is no impact on the environment from the disposal of developing chemicals, film wrappers, metal foil and rinse water.
The question for the future is how technology will bring about better dentistry.
