6 Ways Dentistry Has Evolved Over the Years<\/h2>\n

Dentistry has played a great role in the lives of many, from childhood to adulthood.\u00a0Here are six of the many innovations in the field of dentistry that you\u00a0might find interesting.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Smart Toothbrushes<\/h3>\n

Have you already brushed your teeth with a smart toothbrush?\u00a0<\/span>Smart toothbrushes have sensors<\/span><\/span>\u00a0that connect to an app on your smartphone. These then send information about how you brush your teeth, from\u00a0the pressure you applied to the how you angle your toothbrush. These interactive apps even have games and rewards to encourage\u00a0you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3D Digital Imaging<\/h3>\n

This is another exciting innovation in the field of dentistry. This allows your dentist to see not only your teeth, but also\u00a0look at any issues in your muscle, tissue, and nerves. In addition, 3D digital imaging provides a more accurate\u00a0dental diagnosis, thus saving you time, stress, and financial resources\u00a0along\u00a0the way.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Needleless Anesthesia<\/h3>\n

Not everyone is\u00a0a fan of needles and anesthesia.\u00a0If you\u2019re included, you\u2019ll be happy to hear of\u00a0this dental innovation that allows the use of electronic anesthesia!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital\u00a0X-Ray<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Your dentist can see how your teeth look like on the outside, but in order to provide further treatment, they need to see what really is happening beneath your teeth.\u00a0<\/span>Thanks to\u00a0<\/span>digital<\/span>\u00a0x<\/span>-rays<\/span><\/span>, dentists are now able to see beyond just your teeth structure\u00a0in a much higher resolution than before. This uses an electronic sensor to capture and\u00a0store the digital image on a computer for a better diagnosis.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lasers for Tooth Cavity Detection\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Dentists traditionally use a tool called the \u2018explorer\u2019 to find cavities. They poke it around your mouth during checkup to see if there are cavities\u00a0or any signs of tooth decay. Today, many dentists already switched to diode laser which is a high-tech option for better detection of tooth<\/a> decay.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Better Dental Implants\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Though dental implants\u00a0had\u00a0long been popularized in the past, they often failed\u00a0to serve their purpose.\u00a0According to the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, today\u2019s dental implants<\/a> are made even better with a longer\u00a0life span\u00a0that might be able to last you a lifetime. They use a titanium implant to serve as root replacement,\u00a0with\u00a0an\u00a0abutment\u00a0to connect them to a natural-looking crown.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
