Technology Improving Our Lives

You may have even more to smile about the next time you visit the dentist. that’s because dental offices today can use digital technology that helps you get a more accurate, comfortable treatment in a fraction of the time taken by traditional techniques. thanks to such things as cone beam tomography that gives the clinician a view of your mouth from multiple angles and 3D imaging and printers that let your dentist build a restoration while you wait, you can look and feel better, faster. seeing all the exciting new equipment, however, is not the only reason to visit your dentist. according to the American Dental Association, you should call for an appointment if you have tooth, jaw or mouth pain. if your gums are puffY or bleeding. If your teeth aren’t as white as you want. if You have diabetes, heart disease or any other medical condition that affects teeth. If you’re pregnant. If you have dry mouth. if you use tobacco. and if you haven’t been to a dentist in six months or more.
