From The Dentist's Chair To The Driving Seat, How Dentistry Has Moved On

I recently had an experience with a dentist in London

, and yes it was to do with my teeth. It isn't the first time that I have experienced a dentist in London firsthand, but I had to admit that it's a little while since I've volunteered to visit one. But what has struck me is just how far dentistry has come from the good old drilling days of years ago.

I can clearly recall when I was a child, and yes, my memory is still that good, sitting in a dentist's chair and thinking just how easy it was to get set up as a dentist in London. It seemed that all you needed was a reasonably comfy chair that could recline, a spotlight, a small mirror on a stick, and what looked like a bent screwdriver. If you could borrow a power drill, then all the better. Oh yes, and there was that glass of water that was a funny colour.

But today visiting a dentist in London is less like popping to the DIY store for one or two cheap items, and more like stepping onto the bridge of an intergalactic spaceship from the 24th century. The technology available to dentists today has completely changed the way in which they are able not only to explore your teeth and your whole mouth in much greater detail, and much more conveniently and easily, but it has also provided a range of solutions and treatments which could never previously had even been imagined.

In the past the only way for dentists to explore your mouth was to stick a small mirror in there, push their face almost completely up against yours, and start asking you questions about your summer holiday. Today dentists are able to take advantage of many solutions, such as the ability to take x-rays of your mouth, and then convert these to a virtual reality representation of your mouth. This means that you don't even need to open your mouth for dentists to be able to fully explore every tooth, from every angle. In fact, if you have the stomach for it, you can also see exactly what the dentist is looking at.

This is an important step, not least because of the fact that for the first time it means that when you visit a dentist in London you are not merely a passive patient, but actively involved in identifying the problems, understanding the solutions, and choosing the procedures and options which are available to you. Never mind the comfortable reclining chair, today when you visit a dentist in London you are firmly in the driving seat.
